Being unable to read a sign posted every 200metres and act accordingly is a moral failing.

You are right that there are better ways to "guide" selfish idiots into driving slower, and the set fine means that it stings people like me (thanks for the underhanded insult though!) ruins others and means nothing to some. That's a much bigger societal problem.

Cool, stay simple-minded, judgmental fool then. You're right it's a bigger societal problem, so maybe focus on that instead of judging the individual as if you're so fucking perfect yourself.

'Aight. You really showed me with your not-at-all-defensive-bordering-on-demented response. I think I'm coming around to your well reasoned argument!
