Oh give it a rest. The law is impotent if it doesn't have common consent and
the majority ignore it.

Are you going to take a similar view to bikes jumping red lights?

If not, what's the difference?

No. They exist to try and enforce speed limits. If people choose to
make voluntary payments to HMG because they choose to break a speed
limit that's their business - and my business if it puts me in any
danger at all.
