This sounds like a distinctly cultural problem where the word ‘limit’ clearly doesn’t mean very much to the population in question.

It’s a limit, not a target, and certainly not a floor as some USAsians seem to treat it.

Here in Australia you can be fined for exceeding the limit by less than 10km/h. Yes, even if you are 1km/h over, and whilst this would probably get thrown out in court you’d still have to take time off to attend court.
