Dave:

Although I can only really speak for myself here, I suspect the reason most people get angry with speeding tickets is that we disagree with the law. We disagree with the law because it is more about making money for government than about safety, which is the basis on which it is sold to the voters.

Also, some of us just hate being told what to do by self-righteous safety Nazis who want to save us from ourselves whether we like it or not. I suspect you share that sentiment, based on your stated aversion to seat belt laws.

Don't get me wrong; I'm a law and order kind of guy. I do understand that the rule of law is a precondition of civil society. But when governments are writing over 100 pages of new laws every 24 hours, which I believe is the statistic in your country, then breaking some of the more irksome, useless and vexatious laws starts becoming a necessity. I doubt there is a single person alive and over the age of five in North America who has not broken one law or another in their life.
