It might be more effective for the sign to read "4 points + $280 fine" instead of "80km/h" when you're in a 40km/h zone, no?

I’d rather they just put some resources towards fucking enforcement.

Not much point in a $400 fine if there’s never anybody there to write the ticket. The cops in my area will only enforce speeding at a couple of locations around town because it’s convenient for them to nab people there.

I wish they’d move their asses to school zones and actually patrol around catching people actively doing dangerous things. Giving a speeding ticket to someone going 60 in a 50 zone in an area with no sidewalks or cross streets isn’t making anything safer.

Pro-active law enforcement seems to have disappeared in the sourthern interior of BC for over a decade. The police either enforce the law in highly-publicized campaigns (it's Christmas, so we're going to pull you over...) or respond to calls from the public.
