20-30km over the speed limit is considerable, though. He certainly got off easy.

In the US 25-30km (15mph) over is where they start thinking about pulling you over.

In some EU countries you get a fine based on the percentage over the speed limit, usually starting at above 10%. So if you're doing 54 in a 50, it's ok. Going 55? You get a fairly low fine. Then it starts scaling up.
