I guess it probably varies by location but 5 over the limit doesn’t usually result in anything either. It’s normally just people going significantly over that get fines.
Also it’s a limit, not a target. Plenty of roads have a limit that is too high to actually drive at safely too.
And people often feel like doing 30/40+ in urban areas even if the speed limit is 20/30. Speeds that do cause an increase in the chance of death or serious injury. Especially with the larger cars people are often buying these days.
Going 5 over the limit and feeding money to pigs via ticket revenues is not “dangerous driving”
If someone’s doing 105 im not flashing them obviously

Something tells me you’re one of those who parks it in the passing lane going at or below the speed limit.
I don’t drive, it’s bad for the environment and costs loads of money.
You have a lot to tell drivers for someone who doesn’t drive. Consider that your perspective is heavily biased and likely inaccurate
Inaccurate? Its a fact that you are more likely to die or be seriously injured if a car hits you at a higher speed.
Over a certain speed, yes, but I’m referring generally to your perspective

Agreed
Wait wat, does the money go to the cops in the US?
Going 35 vs going 30 on collision increases chances for pedestrians to die by up to two times btw
But pedestrians rarely travel that fast.
Why is there a pedestrian walking across the road while there’s a car coming at them at 35 mph?
