Wow. At least here we can still go a bit over and get away with it. The cops literally won't even notice you if you are only doing 15 km/h over on a highway. At 20 over you're rolling the dice and at 40 over you're a target. We even have big signs that tell you what the fines are at the various speeds so you can always decide whether it's good value or not.

Sometimes I think (OK, MOST times) that public officials forget that they are there to serve the public. Although, I guess in the same way a hooker "serves" her client, they are "serving" us.
