sudzy - the world is not black and white. its easy to sit there and type away and say that if you don't speed you won't get caught, but do you seriously believe the driving standards haven't decreased with everyone being paranoid about speeding and being caught for extremely minor indescretions?!!
luckily my car has cruise control and i use it nearly every time i get in my car, but many cars don't and its extremely easy to find yourself doing 63 in a 60, just by going down a slight hill or concentrating on driving and looking out the big clear screen in front of you and just keeping up with traffic.
it is impossible for a speed camera to save lives. if i went through a speed trap and then caused an accident up the road resulting in a fatality, could i sue the government??
you will never convince me that 60 is safe and 63 is dangerous.
sezzy - i don't think anyone is condoning speeding or advocating that you drive above the limit. the fact is, that 100% of people on the road, will at some point, drive beyond a speed limit somewhere. that makes everyone hypocrits when they say 'don't speed, don't get caught'!
