They could pass laws fining people for anything, I think the reason speeding is the focus is because it's easy to enforce. You can't just point a radar gun at a lane of traffic and have it pick up all the fatigued or drunk drivers.

The people in charge tend to focus on what they can measure, regardless of how important it is.
