I have often felt that there should be different levels of driver's licenses...that is, licenses for those who "prove" via driving tests and driver education, etc., that they can handle cars at higher speeds than others who can't even walk straight. I mean, you wouldn't give an F-18 to a person qualified only to fly a Piper Cup, right? But if you've attended one of the more expensive driving schools and passed their driving test with flying colors, then you should be able to drive faster than the numnuts who went to A-1 Driving school where all you had to do was pay the fee and they hand you your certificate. It would also mean that you would have to be re-tested (on the road) every few years to ensure that you can still meet the high standards.
So, when that cop pulls you over, you can whip out your "Platinum Driver License" and he will say..."Thank you, please be on your way, no ticket merited here."
AFTER ALL, DRIVING SHOULD BE A PRIVILEGE AND NOT A RIGHT.
