    People don't avoid speeding because the speed-limit sign says 55.  
    They stay under 55 because they don't want tickets and higher insurance 
rates.  And kids, like their driver parents, react to incentives.
    Drivers don't see going 70 as "immoral" just because it's illegal.  And 
many kids feel the same about cheating.
