I think the big reason is the CHP does not lay in wait in speed traps using lidar. Here in Virginia on I-95, which is the east coast version of I-5 there are multiple stretches of constantly maned speed traps, Virginia State Police sitting in tree lined medians with speed guns, some times one every half mile.
80 in a 70 here can get you a reckless driving ticket. You don't have a lot of excessive speeders to deal with but people weaving all over the place texting and driving and tailgaters are common place. I see a lot of big rigs tailgating and swapping lanes a lot. We don't have speeders just everything else, because the cops do not actually patrol. You can't see someone weaving all over the place if you are sitting by the side of the road.
