Horrendousness in Italy

Please read what I actually wrote, rather than what you think I wrote.

I did clarify speeding is exceeding the limit or too fast for the condistions, as in the Rhyl case where the police cocked up the entire investigation from beginning to end and let a killer driver off withb a £180 fine.

You did also claim that the likelihood of death if the driver was doing 30 would have been the same. This is quite wrong.

It is also a myth that speeding is concentrated on above and beyond other errant driver behaviour. The cameras that impose fines for speeding free up trafpol for other duties, so they can catch other criminals, not just speeders.

Forgive me, I get annoyed when the role of speeding in fatal RTCs is somehow mitigated.

Speeding fines are a voluntary tax paid by those too stupid or arrogant to think the law ought to apply to them. They can be avoided as easily as fines for urinating in the street or spraying cocks on walls. Fines for graffiti or whazzing against a wall aren't a "Stealth Tax" and it makes me seethe when speeding fines are described as such.
