But if you only get a speeding ticket if you actually crash/hit someone etc then it's pointless.
It's there so you don;t speed, because even if you think it's safe if someone does run out in front of you unexpectedly, if you where doing 30 and you hit them they have a much greater chance of survival than if you hit them at 40+ (something like an extra 80% chance to not die)
If someone else crosses the line falls asleep etc and hits you if your doing the lower legal limit you're both more likely to live, than if you are speeding even if you do nothing else wrong.
Ah, no, I'm not talking in 30 zones, I never speed in 30s, 40s, or even 50s. I've only ever sped on empty dual carriageways or motorways, when you can see there's nothing ahead of you, nothing could possibly happen to hurt anyone else etc etc.
Like a tree falling in a forest, does it make a sound if no one's around to hear it?
