There is no one more disappointed than me that we can't legally drive at 130 or 140 kph. But as I said in the other thread, it's our fault for letting things get to this point.

You're right:
First offence – car is yours in 7 days but from 2k to 10K is theirs! That what I’ve count as 3 Millions as of yesterday!

No license for 10 years – it’s a 10 years house arrest !!!
