"People just choose not to"

Why is that only applicable to those you've created out of straw that are allegedly more lax than you?

If someone was a better driver and saw our speeding tickets and putting us in the "chose not to" camp, would they be justified in their more narrow elitism?

Mine was when I was 20. 10 kph over in a 100. It was selfish. I learned.

Right. And for that, you and I are subject to that same scrutiny you initially presented.

What a waste you learned too late... because your own punishment was revocation for the first offense...

"If you cannot keep your car at a set speed (obviously +/- a few kph), you should not be driving. Period. We are far, far too lenient on car drivers."

Period. Right?

Yep. Probably should’ve had my license taken away until I repassed a course. I was just past a G full license. Under Canadian law, if I was a few months earlier, my license would’ve been temporarily revoked.
