You get notified that you got penalty points for speeding and then you slow down everywhere because you don’t want to lose your licence.


Don't you need a ton of speeding penalties in a year to get your license suspended?

There are already lots of automated speed cameras and human speed traps everywhere. Everyone around me still speeds. I don't buy your argument that 20 cameras will fix that.


Don’t take your own word for it! https://www.cdc.gov/transportationsafety/calculator/factshee...

Tickets ($$) are a deterrent.


What’s even better is designing the roads to naturally slow cars down.


Of course! But in the meantime, automated enforcement would be swell.


In the EU and UK, you get 3 (or 6 if you're significantly over the limit) penalty points on your license for speeding. They expire after 3 years. 12 points is an automatic ban.


Meanwhile in most of the US, you can get like 16 DUIs and still have a license.

Not that taking away a license is gonna stop someone from driving. They'll just now drive without a license. Probably without insurance, now that they can't get it.
