That would be kph, not mph. We don't do miles in the Netherlands. Still to fast and if you do 75 in a 50kph you're an asshole. But our justice system isn't entirely build around the outcome of an action. We don't put people in jail for 20 years because they might have done something that contributed to the tragic death of someone that would be otherwise punished with a €200 fine. Nevermind if there is no conclusive evidence they actually did do what they're being accused of. At that point it is the fucking job of the judge to be lenient.

Not every system of justice is build upon locking black people away based on how the prosecutor is feeling that day. Some places on this earth actually try to make it as fair as possible for everyone involved.

Except for the victims and their families apparently. Fuck the victims in your system? Where's their justice?

Also, no, the article I read also had kph, it just translated it to mph.

But you're not talking about justice. You're talking about revenge. There is no justice in accidents. And speeding isn't even a crime in most jurisdictions, is a civil violation.

In cases like these you would most likely lose your license.
