Question of the Day: Police Ticketing

What's with the high number of speeding tickets in some villages while others issue few?

The Incorporated Village of Ashroken issued 169 speeding tickets in 2009, according to safe.ny.gov statistics. The report states, Lloyd Harbor police handed out 62 speeding tickets and Huntington Bay police issued seven tickets for driving above the speed limit during the same period. 

Question: Do the statistics show that drivers are safer in some Huntington villages, or is it that police are simply more vigilant in some areas of the town?
