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". Translation - URACRIMINALCODDLER -- |

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. Translation - URACRIMINALCODDLER |

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! |

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. |
