Study Shows the Rich Drive Faster
Well, duh, they can actually pay for the tickets and the lawyers associated with it. I have first-hand reports of normal citizens doing 120mph+ on a public freeway, then not getting one day or jailtime thanks to their legal department. I believe one didn’t even get a TICKET. That’s not gonna happen if you are a teen Honda ricer, sorry…

According to the data, 60 percent of those surveyed with household incomes from $75,000 to $99,999 — and 66 percent with household incomes of $100,000 or more — said they “often” or “sometimes” drive 10 mph over the posted speed limit, compared with 42 percent to 49 percent of people at lower income levels.
Similarly, 77 percent of drivers with household incomes between $75,000 and $99,999, 73 percent earning more than $100,000, and 70 percent earning between $50,000 and $74,999 said within the past week they had exceeded the number of miles per hour over the speed limit that they thought might lead to a police stop.
