The US is very lax about enforcing speed laws compared to other countries.
Compare to somewhere like Australia where you get fined for just going a few km/h over the limit and the use speed cameras extensively.

Whereas it seems to be common in parts of the US for everyone on a freeway to be 10 miles/hour over the limit and nobody cares
- Nifty3929 3y agoWhat is the Australian citizen’s sentiment toward these speed laws? And what are the limits on a typical freeway?
- slyall 3y agoI'm not from Australia (in NZ) but I'd expect the usual range of views. However fines are a voluntary payment to usually attract less opposition Typical limits are here. 100 km/h on most freeways, 100km/h on ones built to higher standards. https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/speed-limits https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/speed-limits
