Not on the motorways, don't feel the need to go any faster on other roads though.
Why?

Flash heart has missed my point by a country fucking mile.
Although annoying (I think there are bigger fish to fry in relation to crime in Wiltshire) I have no qualms about plod setting up speed checks.....it just fucks me off when busy bodies do it.
As I travel the road a lot I have had a few tickets and although a few have pissed me off (36 in a 30 was memorable) its a fair cop.
The speeding issue is another point...and the lack of a spike in deaths since Wiltshire cameras were switched off speaks volumes.
But I'm not against cameras as a whole and blacks spots should all have them not cynical straights on dual carriageways.

Those type of people get under my skin also. They are often sad, nosy cunts in the need to feel more important at other people's expense.
That doesn't mean to say they don't have a legitimate grievance though.

Dont commit any crime and we can sack two thirds of the fuckers.
Let's ask the villains to comply and start laying em off and reduce our council tax.....great policy.
the condems are slashing police budgets already. Don't give them more ideas |

It's not the car, or speed, or lack of speed that is dangerous, it's the driver. I often follow cars that pootle along at 25-40 mph in a 60 limit - driver not paying attention, all over the place, in a world of their own. I overtook a car once along the straight between Bassett and Lyneham, he was doing about 45mph but obviously didn't like being overtaken. By the time I got to the 40mph limit he was hurtling towards my exhaust pipes and had to slam on his brakes, causing him to momentarily lose control - what a dick! Why?
I was in Calne last night and a van was coming the other way past parked cars, but he was way over and almost drove into the front of me - the twat was texting!
For me, lack of attention and a lack of general awareness are the most dangerous things on the road.

Of course higher (or too low) speeds are dangerous.
To say otherwise would be denying the laws of physics.

Only based on the environment you're driving in  |

Only based on the environment you're driving in Exactly! Drive to the conditions and i don't see a problem! Speed limits are set as a limit only (don't go above). Theorectically, you don't have to drive at 30 in a 30 limit area if you don't think it's safe to do so! Drive to the conditions!! I find it fucking boring but don't brake the law and they can't pull you up on it! |

Where does the law stand if you do 75 in a 60, IF.....
You go to overtake a car doing 45mph, said car then puts their foot down as you draw level?
