Pay the Fine, Still Face Court Past 120km/h on Expressways — Too Harsh?

A gazette now sets a clear scale for expressway speeding: Rs 3,000 for driving 100-120km/h, Rs 5,000 for 120-130, Rs 10,000 for 130-140, and Rs 15,000 for 140-150. But cross 120km/h and you don't just pay the fine, you also face court proceedings even if you settle it through GovPay, and anyone caught above 150km/h goes straight to legal action. The expressway limit itself is only 100km/h, so a court summons kicks in barely 20km/h over that. Supporters say expressways see the worst crashes at the highest closing speeds, and a fine alone was never enough of a deterrent for repeat offenders doing 140 in a hatchback. Critics say dragging a driver to court for something that's still fine-payable is disproportionate, clogs an already slow court system, and gives traffic police room to apply it unevenly depending on who's driving. Have you or anyone you know actually been summoned to court under this rule, and did it feel proportionate to what you were doing? What should the cutoff for court be instead of just a fine? ඇක්ස්ප්‍රස්වේ 120ට වැඩි ගියොත් දඩය ගෙව්වත් උසාවියට යන්න ඕනද? ඔබේ අදහස මොකක්ද?
