This. The problem with justifying excessive speed on an empty road is the fact that a road can be empty, until it isn't. The speeding driver has now given away all of their buffer that might allow them to avoid a collision. In most cases the collision still won't occur but when it does it will almost certainly be fatal to someone.

- ceejayoz 4y agoThe fine will almost certainly be different for the guy going 100. If they catch everyone going even 5 km/h over, I suspect people will fairly rapidly adjust their driving speeds.
