At night it doesn't matter how well you take care of your car.
I think that's the biggest part of it. They're bored. A thousand cars can go by during the day, all of which are traveling above the speed limit, and the cop doesn't budge until he sees one really ripping along. At night, all of that goes out the window. Exceeding the speed limit -- even the stupid ones designed to generate revenue -- simply isn't an option.
