The difference with a speeding violation is that you only get ticketed if you exceed the legal limit. Cops can't suspend your license and impound your vehicle for driving 100 in a 110 zone because you're "close to the legal limit".
Also, if you are cited for speeding, you can choose to plead guilty and pay the ticket or fight the charge in court, so there is due process. With this proposed legislation, you have no other option but to surrender your vehicle to the impound lot and pay the fine to have it returned.
