[quote=Kingofmyrrh]This was my favourite part of the quoted text. Breaking the speed limit is OK if you do it accidentally then? I'm sure the family of a person run over by a speeding driver will be all hugs and smiles when they find out the driver wasn't concentrating on their speed and it was just an accident...
This may come as shock to you but speeding does not always result in a fatality. speeding is however the only cause that the police profit from.
The following is a quote from a website and the link is below
"The latest government report on road accidents shows that less than 5% of accidents involve vehicles exceeeding the speed limit.
The report ridicules the long proclaimed lie than 'one third' of accidents are caused by 'speeding'.
However, many journalists are being hoodwinked by the DfT who, in summarizing the report, have grouped 'exceeding a speed limit' with 'inappropriate speed for the conditions'. The latter depends upon road and weather conditions and has nothing to do with posted speed limits. It is necessary to read the report in detail to discover the truth. "
