Yes it is wrong that someone '' can get away with it '' once they are caught commiting an offence.
Most people however '' get away with it '' every day of their driving lives.
The average driver ( Including me ) makes mistakes. In addition some drivers are incapable of driving properly because they are idiots or on drugs ( And I include medicines in this ) and some drivers drive in an extremely aggressive manner, using their vehicles as weapons to bully people out of their way.
The police can't be everywhere at once and as andy says they are the ones who have to deal with the aftermath. The speed limits act as a control element. If you police them properly and enough drivers obey them they become a very basic safety measure.
