Do not support.

Instead of treating a symptom (speeding), why not address the cause? Why are people going that fast? A person generally won't go faster than they feel is safe or reasonable, and that does not necessarily mean "at or under the speed limit". I don't drive beyond my abilities, the capabilities of my vehicle, or the conditions of the roadway on which I'm traveling (including traffic density and weather). You're always going to have the outliers who exceed that point and this will do nothing to stop them.

How about we review the speed limits and see if there's a possibility that they're too low for the highway? We're driving vehicles with 21st century technology, abiding by speed limits from the 60s. How about we produce more competent drivers by enhancing our driver licensing and training programs?

The risk of fines and punishments don't solve a thing.
