    The problem is in practice judges don’t impose this penalty because they know in most parts of the country it’s an economic death sentence.

    Maybe it’s a good idea in like NYC but even in NY there are many people who can’t use the subway to get around.

        Across the border, in Ontario, get caught speeding 50km over (31 miles) and the following happens:

        1. Car is immediately seized, and stored at $250/day. You also get charged for towing.

        2. Fines up to $10,000, repeat offences, jail time up to 6 months.

        3. 14 day licence suspension.

        4. Insurance is cancelled, shunting you to predatory insurers who charge between $18-30,000 a year. 5 years minimum.

        So just one charge like this will cost up to $150,000.

        Street racing was out of control. This law ended it.
