They don't care about your safety, and obviously if they are ok with you going that fast if you pay a $25.00 fee, they don't care about anyone else's safety.

What's next? If I pay a $25.00 fee, can I avoid wearing hard hats at a construction zone? What about if I'm on the water. Can I pay a $25.00 fee and avoid having to carry life preservers? How about if I want to remove my airbags, can I just pay a $25.00 fee?
This permit demonstrates the hypocrisy of most traffic laws. It points out that speed is not the only measure of safe driving. Alternatively, it could be interpreted to say that the state does not care about safety so long as the state collects money. Either interpretation is bad for government.
