What's ridiculous is that the freeways can obviously handle and are safe at 80 mph, because millions of people drive 80 mph on them every day. So why not just raise the speed limit to 80 and actually enforce the limit on a regular basis? I'll tell you why. It's because they want to be able to go out and write tickets whenever they want more money in their budget, and they want to be able to pull people over on a whim. It's hella nefarious.
