This is the problem with zero tolerance: and universal enforcement, I was in an overtaking lane, trying to get past a car infront of me who had been dipping and diving between 85 kph and 105kph. When we got to the little overtaking stretch he sped up. As I said in the article, I spent a total of approximately two minutes above 120kph in over five days of driving. I was not setting the cruise control to 140kph, I was over taking.
Everywhere else, I was setting the cruise control, and doing just a touch above the speed limit. I have no problem with 100/110 either, but that wasnt what was being enforced in my case. They caught me at the absolute worst, and then fined me. No context, no clemency, no warning. Just a whopping fine. It was arbitrary enforcement.
As you said, this wouldnt be an issue if these major roads were dual carriageways as there would be no head-ons, and people can go their own speed in their own lanes without doing mad miles every 5 kilometres or so.
