>My impression of a democracy is that when a majority of peoples of a nation act in a certain way it is a governments duty to ensure=
 that laws are enacted to provide people with the rights to continue to act in this way
Wern a majority of all road users exceed the speed limit, (prove this for 
yourself and travel at the legal limit in any right hand lane of any 
motorway or freeway in Australia), the law is wromg not the people and to 
select, indiscriminately, people outside this law to increase the revenue 
avaliable for anything other than infrastructure spending to allow 
increased safe speeds on our roads is an act approaching treason and at 
the least a corruption of the power and trust placed in the law makers.

You will find in  places like Germany responsible infrastructure spending 
that has allowed the building of cars capable of travelling at speeds 
approaching aircraft velocity in a safe manner. 
Imagine if you could tavel Sydney to Brisbane at 200 kph on a road 
designed for it!! 6 hours!! Why would you take a plane???

All in all the government has got the gullible public in a double whammy. 
You cant travel fast safely because they havent spent properly on 
infrastructure so they lower the speed limit provide cars that are 
capable of vastly exceeding the limit for unrestricted sale and then fine 
you for not obeying their ridiculous limits imposed originally because 
they have mis managed their spending. To add insult to injury the revenue 
collected is not even applied to remedying this situation!!!
