Thread: Check your speedos.

I'm confused, a few weeks ago, the powers that be, decided that there would be no speed leniency tolerated. One kilometer over the limit and you're done for. Now I read that the death toll, up to today is eight dead and is double of that last year. What pray tell, was the draconian law rushed in for? Couldn't be revenue raising, egotistic want or just plain stupidity...could it?
