Doesn't alter the fact.
But if you were to drive the same boring road day after day you might at least get an understanding of why some people do go over the speed limit.
It's just that "I don't drive but I know you're doing the wrong thing" tweaks me. Despite the fact that yes, you're quite right.
The use of speed cameras as revenue raisers rather than safety enhancers annoys me. (ie they always seem to be placed on long straight flat roads rather than twisty, hazardous roads). It sometimes feels like more money goes into catching speeding drivers than goes into making the roads safer.
I am not defending speeding. Yes, it kills people. No, I don't speed. But the recent blanket reduction of speed limits in suburbs, from 60 to 50 kmh, is a pain. Judging by the number of cars that sit right on my tail as I drive along at 50, I'm not alone in that thought. It doesn't make me right, but similarly it doesn't fill my heart with joy. Especially when there are rumblings of reducing it to 40.
Better qualify all this by saying I'm not a bitter old man who has had too many speeding tickets in the past. Haven't had any. (he said, thereby jinxing himself :) )
