Speeding in Lincoln County
The number of tickets for speeding in Lincoln County has reached epidemic levels. This week in the Leader it lists 8, I believe, over 90 MPH. One was clocked at 134.
I looked up the penalties on line and for 20 MPH over the speed limit, one is assessed 6 demerit points. I guess they never invented a more severe penalty for 30 miles over the speed limit. I feel anyone going 90 or above needs to have an immediate and memorable suspension of their license. The penalty for having 12 demerit points is only a two-month suspension. Not very impressive.
Speed kills as surely as does alcohol and drugs. I feel anyone going 90 or above needs to lose their license for at least 6 months. Maybe that would help them learn how to drive.
