Speed limits and then cameras are primarily there to manage trap
those who can't make decisions on their own (and in that process also
trap those spending more time actually driving attentively and not
staring at their speedo or circles on sticks). I'm not saying most of
us can't do both of course but speed and safe driving can be two
different things.

I would say that if you can't control your vehicles speed correctly
then you are not driving safely.
The excuse used by poor drivers that they spend all their time
looking for hazards and can't see the speed limit signs or the speedo
is just plain cr@p.
If you can't keep an eye on your speed and know what the signs say
then you are already driving too fast for your abilities.

dennis, you will no doubt expect me to disagree from our previous
conversations.
Please do read the section of the link entitled "Modern erosion", then
perhaps you will see my point.

It's an interesting site by the way if you have not come across it.

If the graph was adjusted to account for the number of cars per mile of
motorway it would be a different story.
