    Speeding is driving badly. Unless your one of the morons who believe that the limits don't apply to them and they are only an advisory guide.


    Ah yes, but speeding doesnt kill :)

    The car that is being driven at speed does the killing, but the !!!!!! behind the wheel tells the car what to do.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Ok, who's the most dangerous:

    Driver A, doing 29 mph down a round with a infant school on it at 3.30pm

    Driver B, doing 71 mph on a motorway at 3.30am.


    I presume you think driver b is because he is SPEEDING. :)

    They both pose the same risk down our way as the school ends at 3pm.;)

    Do you condone speeding?.

    They are maximum limits not targets.

    golly gosh..so much urban myth ......sadly, so many people believe it to be the truth!

    Urban myth is created by people trying to justify doing what they want to do.
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......

    No, total opposite, but morons who make sweeping statements about speeding kills wind me up :)

    anyone with a degree of intellgence knows speeding doesn't kill, bad driving kills

    It could be any, this thread has drifted well off topic!

    The discussion isn't about speeding but whether the guy should have been prosecuted/found guilty of obstructing the police!

    You know something.....

    Why is it so rare to come across someone who never tips the speedo past 30 in a 30 zone.... Yet on here they seem to be prevalent.
    Do speeders not have internet access or are these people all just hypocrites?
