Problem with reducing the penalty is that speeding in pit lane can occur anywhere down the lane, not just at pit entry and there are people working in the lane.

The penalty in my view needs to be a big one to really keep teams focussed on it - it works too you might say given the level of focus that DJRTP are putting on it to address the problem from their end.

In a different way it's like the ECU or testing rules - really big punishments for transgressing so no-one goes there at all (well, not recently anyway).
