If that was the only vehicle in that family and the car got impounded, how is that person(s) going to get to work, pay bills, kids to school, etc.????
How is that person to pay the fines if they can not get to work???
What if the person is doing 38 km/h over and the fuzz rounds it up to 40 km/h and they get their car impounded???
The Police are human beings, to be human is to error. I say that they just imply a very large fine and let the courts decide if the vehicle gets impounded not one policeman or woman. Not all Police are always in great moods.
Looking outside of the box ownes you both.

Most people barely ever leave city limits, where are they going 40 over on a regular basis? Yes most people speed, but it's typically 5-10 over, 20 at most.
"That person" shouldn't have been such a selfish prick and gotten the car impounded now should they? This should be pretty simple.
So, to play it safe, don't go more than 30 over. If you're around 40 over and it's up the officers discretion, your attitude probably plays a big part here as to whether they count it as excessive or not. If you think you're only going 38 over, changes in tire size and age means your speedo isn't that accurate, and you could very easily be going more than 38 over.
