They haven't even given out a $400 fine, probably because even they know how absurd it is. So really is it going to act as a deterrent? If only 1 or 2 cyclists get it this summer they're going to just be the person with bad luck (or more likely the jackass going 50 km/hour somehow), but a more reasonable fine of say $100 for going over 30 km/hour in a 20 km/hour zone that can be handed out more frequently might actually deter people from speeding.
