I'm really not sure that the link between "exceeding the speed limit" and
"drivers who have little thought for others" is anywhere _near_ that kind
of clear-cut correlation...

I've used to drive the M6 between J8 and J40 regularly, and it struck me
that there are cars on the legal limit, both overtaking and undertaking
other drivers (especially where the traffic is slow moving), dodging
lane to lane, then there are Porsche drivers that are driving in lane 3
doing 90 mph.
I know which I think is the greater menace, unfortunately, cameras
don't.


Statistically the Porsches are the safest. The most dangerous is the idiot
doing 45 in a first generation Escort in the middle lane.
