Ok lets set it to 100Km/h over = Instant jail time, would you be stopping if caught doing those speeds and going to jail if that was on the line, because i know most people would rather try and run and end up there (jail) anyway, then just pull over and say "Take me to jail".

Same principle works with the Hoon laws, not to many people are going to stop on their 3rd offence and say 'Sure, take it to auction".

I'd lock myself up if I did 100km/h over in a built up area. That's like having a gun firing it randomly all over the place in a shopping centre and by LUCK you didn't hit anything. By LUCK somebody didnt walk out onto the road or he didn't hit a bump in the road possibly shooting him off through somebodies house or having a head on with another car!!

Any person that thinks about what consequences might happen if he does this wouldn't do it. I certainly couldn't live with the fact that I killed somebody from excessively speeding in a built up area!! Could you??

Also if 100 over did equal Jail time I highly doubt there would be people frequently going 100 over anymore. We should bring in spike strips for the runners. The minor few with half a brain cell that would be left doing 100 over wouldn't care about Jail or other peoples lives so maybe we should force them into having a bingle with a tree via the strips!!
