And in the UK (where Yorkshire is) we have a points system. If you build up 12 points you lose your license, and speeding can get you between 3-6 points per offence depending how serious it was. So it’s really not just a case of the rich speeding all the time, paying the fines and carrying on.

Nobody is forcing people to drive over the speed limit. It’s a fine, not a tax.
