Jailed for speeding?? C'mon...

Saw the article on the guy who was jailed for going 255 km/h and thought it

was outrageous.  What harm did he do that justified going behind bars? 
Absolutely none.  A huge fine would more than suffice, IMO.  Remember the 
Seinfeld episode where Elaine argues that there can be degrees of 
coincidence, and the woman says there are no big coincidences or small 
coincidences, only coincidences.  I think the same goes for speeding. 
You're either speeding or you're not.  I also think it's pointless 
suspending his license for 5 years.  Seriously, has anyone who has ever
had 
their license suspended *not* driven?  It's a pretty much unenforceable 
punishment.
