Driving over the speed limit isn't a felony.
- alan_cx 13y agoDid you know that there are other countries and legal systems?
- nsmartt 13y agoFirst, the law in the OP is an American law. Second, I find it difficult to believe that there are countries where driving slightly faster than a number printed on a road sign can result in prison time. If I've made an error, it's because I drew a reasonable, albeit incorrect, conclusion; it isn't because I'm an ignorant American who doesn't consider the existence of other countries. If you had a correction, you should have posted it rather than a snide comment along these lines.
- phaus 13y agoSome countries take an extreme stance on driving-related offenses. A few countries are actually so worried about speeding that they have banned the sale of racing-related video-games. Hell, in Virginia a few years back they implemented insanely high fines for all sorts of minor moving violations. Some of the offenses cost several thousand dollars.
- lsiebert 13y agoSufficiently over the speed limit can be reckless endangerment, which is a misdemeanor.
