I'm also in the "drive a little under 10 over" camp, and I totally accept that once every 10 years (or whenever), I'm going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get a ticket for it. I'm OK with that. It's not fair, but it's well below the bar of meaningful injustice for me to really care about it all that much.


What's not fair about getting a speeding ticket when you are driving over the speed limit?


A largely-randomized system where most participants aren't punished but some are singled out for large fines is pretty unfair.

Performing a bad action does not cause someone to forfeit all arguments as to fairness.


I believe it's implied that the limit itself is unfair.
