It might be more effective for the sign to read “4 points + $280 fine” instead of “80km/h” when you’re in a 40km/h zone, no?
minus-squarephutatorius@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·10 days agoWhy does the increment get smaller as you increase your illegal speed? This offends my sense of natural harmony.
minus-squareThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 days agoAgreed. Given how speed affects crash energy and stopping distances this is completely backwards.
minus-squareEndlessNightmare@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 days agoYeah, should be exponential or something.
