No more speeding

If you do it when the clocks go back, you get a ticket for exceeding the speed of light.

Stopping at roundabouts etc also means you can drive (to some extent) above the speed limit 100% of the time

Not if the entry/exit points are at roundabouts.

Time to buy two identical cars and get some "James Bond" style revolving number plates.

I see a plan B here; revolving 4 sided number plates.

Drive in reverse - that'll counteract that little problem.

Great minds...

You still don't generally enter/exit a roundabout at the speed limit for the road, so even if the camera is on the exit you get a little bit in the bank.

That wont be dangerous will it. I mean all those drivers looking at the clock instead of the road, no completely safe that will be.

Not this again. How does anyone pass their driving test without crashing or speeding if keeping an eye on your speedo's so dangerous?

I hardly think that 30 seconds of braking at a roundabout is going to balance out 40 miles of doing 90 on the rest of it

Like other people have said, no point getting a beast of a car if you can't enjoy the luxury of the speed, may as well get a small car with a high power to weight ratio so you can still beat the blue-rinses at the lights.

Because most people drive well below the speed limit for their test.
Day to day driving is a different matter. Joe Bloggs will still want to get there as fast as possible, but without a ticket. He will drive as close to the limit as he can but will spend more time looking at his speedo than the road.
The alternative is every road moving at well below the speed limit which will lead to ridiculous overtaking manouvres and just as many deaths.

It is not speed that kills, it is a contributing factor but not itself the cause. Bad driving is the cause and that has not been policed for quite some time.

Will somebody please tell the Neu Laborazi Party that George Orwell's "1984" is a fictional warning, and not an instruction manual ?
