"Serious" speeders, for want of a better word, should be all but hung. Someone who drives at 31mph should be ignored UNLESS their actions have dire consequences. But equally, someone driving badly below the limit should be punished.
It's a difficult one, but maybe what needs to happen is speed should be a factor in a conviction, as opposed to the offence itself?

But you can't have arbitrary speed limits; they would be unenforceable. Tell you what though if you get done for doing 31 in a 30, I'll pay the fine for you
As I said before I agree with action the copper took against Russ but if you look at that example, Russ was nearly 15% over the speed limit; that's quite a margin really. Do 40 in a 30 - a far worse crime in my book - and you are more than 30% over the speed limit.
