I said care for victims as I think that would slow up a decent person.

However IMHO throwing the book at people who exceed arbitrarily set speed limits by a few K is entirely about making money, not road safety.

If you want to save real lives I could come up with a number of options that have been proven to work, but are costly. Brainwashing the public and then booking them on mass is revenue positive and gives people a nice warm feeling that they are doing something.

Speed doesn't kill - inappropriate speed for the conditions can be dangerous though.
