I drove from Asheville to Durham yesterday, and it was an ordeal. For most of the trip, I was behind people going 5mph below the speed limit. Traffic reports noted congestion all about. People were in fear because mass media had broadcast and social media had relayed word that the DOT had launched a strict enforcement campaign. It had me thinking the powers that be might be motivated to raise the speed limits when they see how horrible it is when everybody obeys. Today, however, we learn it is not likely people will be ticketed for going 1-2mph over.
