New speeding laws...TT, why bother?

Government coming up with new laws main purpose isn't to make the roads safer. It's more income, especially when the Canadian Government are owing billions in debts.

The 40km/h or 50km/h over law doesn't makes sense at all.

Example:

Traveling 150km/h in a 100km/h zone (who hasn't done it?); that's 50% over the limit

VS.

Traveling 90km/h in a 40km/h zone (Never done so in my life); 125% over the limit.

If caught in either situation, you are violating the same law.

The law is like, you killed someone; you get the chair. You stole a loaf of bread to feed your family; you also get the chair.

Penalties for 50km/h over:

Towing charge: $250.00
Impound for 7 days: $700.00 ($100.00 a day)
6 demit points: max. $10K fine
Insurance: priceless.
