They believe they have a God given right to break the speed limit

Speed limits are just a cash grab

People will drive whatever speed they feel comfortable and if you actually want them to drive slower then build the roads accordingly for said speed

In Victoria we have 30 km/h speed limits on roads where you should be going 60 and it's literally just a tax on poor people

I recently got fined for doing 61 in a 50 zone, I was the only one on the road, and in a sports car that can go like 100 in second gear

How fast your car can go and how busy the road is irrelevant. Fact is you were exceeding the limit. Yes our road design sucks. It costs millions to rehabilitate just 1 road while it costs thousands to operate the cameras. People are literally dying due to excessive speeds on our roadways so I'll take the not perfect solution of speed enforcement over nothing.
