It's 2 kilometres per hour, not 2 miles. 2 kilometres. That's about 1 1/5 mile per hour
It might sound stupid but there are 3 things you need to take into account. 1. Often you won't be charged and there is definitely nothing on your criminal record, 2. If you haven't done anything wrong recently normally you can appeal and get off. If your appeal does get rejected, it is only 1 demerit and a $123 dollar fine. 3. There is really no excuse for speeding. Speedometers are very accurate these days and cruise control is also very good so it is much harder to 'accidentally' speed.
it's very easy to accidently speed. Some people can't afford to pay $100+ for stupid things, nor can they afford to lose a point from their license every time they press the accelerator a bit too hard. And yes, yes it is enforced. Cops are obligated to enforce it
