The purpose of a system is what it does. In Australia, they want you to go 50. In the USA, they want a reason to fine you.

In my area of the US, I don't think so. I'll go 9mph over the speed limit when I drive by a police car. I've never been pulled over.

In some other areas of the US, you're right, which is why I'm less likely to speed in other areas.
