I think every year when you renew your registration you should be able to buy a "speeding pass." IE:
10KM over the speed limit - $200
20KM over the speed limit - $600
30KM over the speed limit - $1000
etc.
Basically you get a sticker and put it on your car, and get to add whatever you bought to the speed limit without fear of a ticket.
Then you bump up the price of a speeding ticket by 300%, and you put out a bunch of photo radar cams.
And suddenly we don't have cops sitting all afternoon in a Van and raking in 70k or more a year. And they can get back to making our cities safe instead of doing nothing.
I like it.
