Incorrect. The only *definition* of "too fast" is exceeding the speed limit
You need to tell any one of the organisations who use the term
differently from you as they obviously don't know as much about such
things as yourself (NB not a mention of "speed limits")
ROSPA : Driving too fast for the conditions is a major cause of
crashes.
Roadsafe: Driving Too Fast Kills More People Than Any Other
Traffic Law Violation
RAC: When asked what their biggest fears were on motorways respondents
cited: 15 per cent - motorists driving too fast
AA Foundation for Road Safety Research: A failure that increased the
likelihood of the accident happening : Driving too fast for the
situation
UK Transport Research Laboratory: humps cause discomfort to vehicle
occupants if their vehicle is traveling too fast.
I don't need to do anything.
The only definitions that have any significance, are those in the Road
Traffic Acts. The rest are irrelevant because the organisations that
you mention have little to no influence on driver behaviour.
