If they stopped using speeding fines to build up the coffers they would simply have to raise your taxes to compensate. They even include speeding fines as part of gov't gross income when they set the budget so they would need to get it from somewhere else. At least with fines only the silly or unweary have to pay. If you don't speed, you won't get fined and if you do get caught take it on the chin and pay up.
