I'm the one that said that about the 30 over law in Fla. Ken. I realise I'm at the opposite end of the political spectrum than a lot of the members here, so be it. As a general rule I try to avoid politics, you all are not going to change my mind anymore than I'm going to change yours.
I agree the Fla. law is total BS only because it represents selective enforcement which is a clear violation of the Bill of Rights. If you're going to have a law it has to apply to everyone, It can't be one law for motorcyclists and a seperate law for Bubba Hooker in his Trans-Am.
The law itself is a bit draconian but WTF are you doing going 30 over? in Wa. 20 over is considered reckless, a gross misdemeanor punishable with up to a year in the can and a $5000 fine, in fact the law defines reckless as anything that might endanger others including anything over the speed limit, can be considered prima facie evidence of reckless driving, that's why bro Krebs got in such trouble for a low speed wheelie.
Normaly it's at the officers discretion what to write it for and I've been popped myself doing 93 in a 60 and got off with a warning, however the law is there. With the Fla. law as well as this one in P.R. you all need to elect people who will over turn this nonesense as well as get the AMA's legislative branch involved.
The bottom line is that harsh fines for 30 over is fairly lenient compared to most other states if you care to look it up.
