Think of it this way if the sentence for speeding was life in prison, do you really think that wouldn’t have any effect on people speeding.

I think this just highlights how stupid the idea is that punishment doesn’t act as a deterrent

I think if the punishment for speeding was life in prison, the entire system would be in such a shambles what would make sense is burning the entire country down.

Your assertion is not the slam dunk you think it is.
