driving safely includes limiting your speed, unless you honestly believe that it is possible to drive safely at absolutely any speed.Originally posted by BolshieBastardYou're fulfilling a business role not partaking in a rock and roll concert.Comment

Speed is one of the most important factors in safety, possibly the most important (I think I did say that). I just want to draw attention to the idea that it is only a means to the real end.Comment

cursing myself yet again for being drawn into one of those threads...
look: no-one is ever going to abolish speed limits. no-one is ever going to scrap speed cameras. so i'll leave you flat-earthers you babble away harmlessly in this thread.

That handles those with poor driving habits. Additionally have trees planted around blind bends, at the bottom of run-offs, etc.. to act as a Darwinian style filter on the criminally incompetent driver.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

THE government is to cut the national speed limit from 60mph to 50mph on most of Britain’s roads, enforced by a new generation of average speed cameras.
The reduction, to be imposed as early as next year, will affect two thirds of the country’s road network.
