Rather than knee-jerk punishment, I think driver re-education is the key.

Good point, Russ D. But I have known a lot of policemen over the years, and let me tell you that not everyone who drives a Panda car has high speed training. Therefore they may be better than average drivers, or they may be worse.
I agree 100% that education is the key though. Good point very well made.
