I must admit that this article indicating that Ontario has busted over 1000 offenders for speeding over 50 km/hour over the speed limit has me surprised. I can’t say I’ve ever sped to that degree so it surprises me that there are quite a few people who do.
On another note, why doesn’t the law make some ludricous fines to ensure people don’t do this? For example, instead of confiscating their vehicle for a week, take it for three months! A year even! Fines should be increased to a point where they will be paying out of their ass for quite some time!
I don’t think there should be a balance when it comes to laws…they should be in extremes…low extremes for things like underage drinking and smoking marijuana…high extremes for murder and drinking and driving. I understand the concept of rehabilitation so why don’t they have the concept in some laws that the first chance is all they get and then afterwards, nothing goes?
