Very interesting. I read that as:
* if you're pipped for 41-44 in a 40 zone, fight it.
* if you're pipped for 111-121 on the freeway (even by a fixed
camera), fight it.
* any speed limits below 40 are even more ridiculous than I had
already believed, since there is apparently no requirement for ANY
speedo reading at speeds below 40km/h - therefore the minimum
enforcable speed limit is 40.
