[edit] Controversies of zero tolerance speeding enforcement

There are announcements and controversies of zero tolerance speeding enforcement suggesting that even 71 km/h over 70 km/h limit. Based on mathematical calculations, I hereby list the impact force index upon any crash using 70 km/h as 1.00:

  • 70 km/h: 1.00
  • 71 km/h: 1.03
  • 72 km/h: 1.06
  • 73 km/h: 1.09
  • 74 km/h: 1.12
  • 75 km/h: 1.15
  • 76 km/h: 1.18
  • 77 km/h: 1.21
  • 78 km/h: 1.24
  • 79 km/h: 1.27
  • 80 km/h: 1.31
  • 81 km/h: 1.34
  • 82 km/h: 1.37
  • 83 km/h: 1.41
  • 84 km/h: 1.44
  • 85 km/h: 1.47
  • 86 km/h: 1.51
  • 87 km/h: 1.54
  • 88 km/h: 1.58
  • 89 km/h: 1.62
  • 90 km/h: 1.65

Based on this, fining 71 km/h in the same way as 90 km/h is extremely unfair, so it is no wonder why some people scold the "bandit government". Those who can read Chinese may search "雪山隧道 超速 強盜政府" through Google. These phrases mean "Hsuehshan Tunnel", "speeding", "bandit governmeent".

Based on http://www.motorists.org , some strategies to contest speeding summonses include questioning the accuracy of the device and how the operators have been trained. I am unsure how fair and impartial Taiwanese Traffic Adjudication Bureaus are, but any motorists receiving speeding summonses should seriously think of pleading NOT GUILTY. Only frequently pleading not guilty will change the zero tolerance speeding enforcement while speedometers are not always accurate. Paying fines with bulk coins itself may not change the heavy enforcement as fine collecting offices may eventually get coin counting machines to reduce the burden of their clerks.--Jusjih 16:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
