"It is glaringly clear to me that the 50km/h mentality is very wrong, and should be obsolete.
"Sixty in this day and age is a perfectly safe speed, especially with having vehicles with superior brakes and steering," Harris said.
Harris said thousands, like him, naturally drive over the limit at between 50 and 60 km/h.
The grandfather of six also picked up an $80 fine on the same day he copped another ticket for doing 61km/h in a 50km/h zone.
Police revealed that in 2016 the West Auckland region totalled $1,424,290 in fines.
Harris told Fairfax he believes more time should be spent teaching drivers how to use their mirrors instead of focusing on speeding drivers.
