Above the speed

Imagine you're going on a trip and few weeks later you'll get a traffic ticket because you were 10km/h too fast at some point. Is this justified?

With all the technology we have today, traffic tickets are only easy money for the government.

Which technology do I mean?

I drove a few cars lately but something they had all in common, was a system to detect your speed and verify if it's too high.

A signal flashes or makes a sound to inform you that you're too fast.

So why is it not possible that this system starts breaking your car when you're above the limit?

It would be the easy thing to do.

When the limit is 50 km/h, you can put your foot on the gas pedal and the car still moves with a maximum of 50.

There even is a cruise control in nearly every car so that you can limit manually your speed. There needs to be a standard cruise control working with GPS and nobody can go over the speed limit anymore.

This isn't the only solution.

Think about it, nearly everywhere the maximum of speedlimit is 110 or 130 km/h. Why can every car go above?

If you built the cars with a speedlimit, nobody will ever drive too fast.

For the people that want to race, go to a race circuit.

It's as simple as that.

But why isn't all of this not yet mention or discussed over?

Because the government will lose an easy way to gather money.
