If the states were to step up enforcement there would be no budget issues.

If I were a state senator...I would push this as the speeding ticket law. I've never was happy with the speeding tickets I got when I was younger but this is an area that people really push the law especialy with highway speeds and DUI.

Fines
Residential areas or busy buisness areas
5 over $250
6-25 over $500
26-50 over $1,500 Lose lisence for 2 years
50+ over $5,000 Lose lisence for 10 years 5 years in jail

(Highways)
5 over is the freebie
6-25 over $500
26-1mph shy of double the speed limit $1,500 Lose lisence for 2 years.
Double the speed limit $5,000 Lose lisence for 10 years 2 years in jail.
Over 100MPH $15,000 Lose Lisence forever 5-7 years in jail.

Cause an accident because your speeding and lose control and some one you hit dies $55,000 Fine Lose lisence forever 30 years in jail.

DUI $50,000 Fine for first offence Lose lisence forever 30 years in jail.
