You might want to look at a Hopey steering damper. It'll keep your wheel straight over rocks, in sand, and in ruts. I have one and I love it.

Where I live, the police must follow you for 1/4 of a mile before they can give you a ticket. My guess is you'd probably see them or not be able to go over the speed limit for that long.
