> I'm sorry but for this particular problem I have no sympathy Isn't that part of the problem. Lack of sympathy? Everybody makes mistakes from time to time..

    A 3 km/h speed over the limit is not in the same category as many other law breaks... It's become such a cash cow in Europe.

      Then don't go 3km/h over? You do have a speedometer in your car, if it's not accurate you can get that fixed for cheap. I never drive over the limit according to my dashboard instruments no matter how many people behind me get angry.

        it's possible yes. Though sometimes the speed limit is very, very low and it gets annoying to have your eyes constantly on the speedometer.

  Care to cite some of that research? I cited supporting literature for my claims elsewhere in this thread; what’s the utility of discussing research if we’re not thinking of common papers to review? And no, I categorically reject your appeal to “people make mistakes.” A speed trap is a mistake unfairly penalized. Parking under a partially hidden fire zone sign is a mistake. Speeding is a willful decision that evidences either ignorance or disregard for the impact of higher speeds and traffic disparity on mortality risk. I really don’t think calling this a “pet peeve” like when someone blocks a driveway is at all comparable.
