In Louisiana about 5 years ago, the Highway Patrol had an "obey the
limit" day. At 5 am, troopers got on every major interstate with a car in
every lane, going exactly the speed limit (had the cruise control on),
going both ways. Traffic got so backed up, people were hours late to
work, more accidents, no revenue from the day....The very next day, the
state congress passed a law that said the troopers could never do that
again, due to public saftey. Go figure.

FWIW,
