Sorry, but I will never ever relinquish my privacy to the grubby hands of "The Man".

Well, let's see...
* That insurance company would be out of business. Their customers would leave en masse. It would be corporate suicide.
* Statue of limitations. The companies, if they were to even hand over such information, would not do so without several years of backlog, which would make the information irrelevant to issuing tickets.
* No police force is ever going to issue tickets to everyone straying ever so slightly over the speed limit. Not only would it overwork the police force, but it would also overwork the court system as well. Every police force has radar and laser detectors to detect when you might be straying ever so slightly over the speed limit, and every police force has the ability to issue tickets for such an infraction. But they don't, because that'd be stupid, counterproductive of them, and would likely net them a loss in terms of money intake due to court costs from more people fighting such tickets.
