If you were trown in jail, brutally raped and had 50% of your income confiscated for the rest of your life as a punishment, trust me, pretty much nobody would be speeding.

For most people, the (cost of punishment * chance of being caught) is less than reward of whatever they're doing.

Then increase the reward. It's not a coincidence that most criminals are poor people. They have less to lose.
