'speeding' is a victimless crime, it does not affect road deaths
So exceeding the speed limit, thus having to take a tight corner in the centre of the road, causing an oncoming vehicle to swerve into a garden wall, is victimless? The only (2) 'near death' experiences I have had were as a passenger in a car being driven by a (sober) young (25ish) man in excess of the speed limit. On each occasion the driver had to pull over and take time to collect himself before continuing, in a more subdued manner. On each occasion their excess speed was the cause of our predicament. If a sign says 30mph, if you disagree, fight to get it changed. Until then, why not obey it? BTW: If everyone has the same attitude towards speeding as you, how would introducing speed limits ever reduce the number of road deaths?
