I'm not even sure what your argument is in this thread. It seems to be "we need some system of dealing with people that drive really fast that doesn't depend on them not driving really fast". Well, training the majority of people that don't drive superfast seems harder than training a minority that does, so if you're already sure we can't teach the minority out of their bad habits, it would seem to follow that you also can't teach the majority out of theirs. And yet you propose we somehow do the more impossible of these things as if the rest of us just don't get your point...
