Slow down and follow posted speed limit!
A handful of social media users shared their thoughts in the comments.
“Suspend their license for life! Far too many dangerous drivers on the road that speed with impunity and complete disregard for the life and safety of others,” said one user.
“Make the fines heavier. Higher the price, the less they will speed. And double the impound fees,” added another user.
Do you think this driver got a severe enough punishment?
