For reference for those using freedom units that's roughly 60 mph in a 20 mph zone
Bonus. In eagle burger land that will either land you:
$200 fine and 2 points on your license (varies on state)
shot in the face (dwb and reaching for a gun wallet)
nothing (hello fellow patrolman, have a great day killing pet dogs)

And not even enough. As a society we're condoning too much when it's about cars.
Going 100 in a 30 should be charged as "attempted massacre" if stopped. Because it's not an "accident" anymore when you go that fast.
And driving that fast in a residential area without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, should be an aggravating circumstance and not the opposite.
Where I live (Australia) it's $962 (€586) and a 12 month licence suspension. $2,212 if you do it in a truck.
What's interesting is that if you turn your head to look at a phone in your passenger's hand while stationary at a red light, it's a $545 fine and 4 points off your 12-point licence.
Only 2 years suspension is a slap on the wrist for what is essentially an attempt at stochastic murder. We need to stop treating driving licenses as a universal right and stop clearly unfit people from sitting behind the wheel.
Going 100 in a 30 zone means you don't care about killing a child if one happens to step out on the street.
Boggles my mind how you're able to ever legally drive again after that.
Even as a car owner, I have no problems accepting Swiss-level regulations for this kind of criminal behavior.
Switzerland is based af
Austria passed a law recently to confiscate and auction off your vehicle in cases like this.
Germany sometimes seems like the America of Europe.
Meanwhile, in the US, going 74 mph in a 25 and killing someone? No consequences as long as you're a cop.
All fines should be income dependent. Especially for all flavours of corporation, in which case there should be no upper limit. If the corp goes bankrupt because they broke the law hard enough it should either go out of business or become a public entity if it's vital.
Weil Autoland Deutschland, darum.

Germany knows whats up.
Don't like the loud kid next door? Run it over with your car. Your wife left you? Kill a bunch of pedestrians to blow off steam. You are below 18 years old and don't have a car? Fuck off, your age is a YOU-problem.
After we build that one more lane we will be even greater than the USA.
The first kid is free.
in my country they just give you a fine
