Most people dont get ticketed until they are around 15 over.

Thats the “unspoken” general expectation. Even some fine schedules, have 1-10 over as a $0 fine. See pennsylvania:

However, some draconian towns like Collegedale, TN which advertise no crime statistic in 20-30 years feed off the college kids and give them 5mph over tickets all day long.

Its not necessarily about changing behavior, but there is a balance to be striken between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law.

5mph over can be the difference between life and death in a crash with a pedestrian. I don’t understand why people trivialise it or act like it’s draconian to expect people to drive under a speed limit.
