**Survey on Road Safety for my University dissertation!**

I wouldn't use a mobile, but have no issue with speeding if it's on a dual carriageway/main road (i.e. no houses).

I would be interested to see if anyone on here would claim that they don't speed....

fair point,

MrsBartolozzi

Have filled it in, but I have to agree with others that lumping speeding, drink-driving and mobile use together is a bit unfair.
Everyone who is a driver I would assume, has sped whether deliberately or unwittingly, and going a mile or two over the limit is surely better than spending half the time with your eyes on the speed dial - eyes are better on the road no?
Insight into drink driving and mobile use might have been better served in them having their own questions- just a thought..
On truthfully clicking that I have sped I feel that my "vote" might be associated with either of these other things and that makes me feel uncomfortable as I would not do either.

But I suppose in the eyes of the law they are all equally illegal and maybe this is the point...;)

MrsBartolozzi, what you said is true.

There is a large difference in the implications of speeding a few miles an hour over the speed limit and staring at your mobile phone with your eyes off the road.

This was a limitation in the questionnaire design and it has been mentioned in my project after it had been flagged by members of this thread

Thanks for the feedback!
