So what should be the penalty for speeding?

driving.

How many kids have you put in wheelchairs for life? You pedal-philes
are more dangerous to kids than the pedophiles.

Because, that was entirely the idea behind the 55mph speed limit, and
there is no reason that you should be heavily penalized (or penalized
at
all IMO) for driving at a safe speed that may be "fast".

There shouldn't be any penalty at all for speeding, only reckless
driving. If we abolished all speed limits and expected a little more
responsibility from our drivers, we might actually make the roads
safer.

Here in Ontario, Photo radar was introduced years ago on controlled
access highways only when the government was running a serious spending
deficit, and bevame desperate for any source of cash. They quickly
found out that each $220,000 photo radar equiped van would generate
$16,000,000 annually. There were several vans in use (I can't remember
how many). The next election saw a different party in office, and they
turfed photo radar. Now, several years later, we have another serious
government overspending problem.

At least this time the government was honest when they proposed the
return of photo radar: they openly stated it has NOTHING TO DO WITH
SAFETY. IT'S THE REVENUE ONLY!

So you admit your proposition makes no sense? Most speeders haven't
killed anyone either. Therefore it is ridiculous to suggest more than
whatever minimal fine there is.

Collision at 75 vs. 55 mph has alot more energy behind it= a higher risk
of injury/death. Much higher.

Speeding should be cracked down on. Most people are not that great
drivers, and almost half of them are driving vehicles that are prone to poor
breaking and poor traction on pavement- SUV's and trucks.
