So you obviously think it's safe to go at 100mph there. Can you not see how absurd it is to claim that the very same behaviour is "deadly" when exhibited here, simply by virtue of the fact that the law is different here? That is just another fundamentally illogical and self- evidently ridiculous contention which is part and parcel of supporting speed cameras.

If you genuinely thought a behaviour was dangerous, you wouldn't exhibit it *anywhere*, no matter what the law. I therefore infer that you know speeding, provided that inappropriate speed isn't used, is not dangerous. Why, then, do you so fervently support speed cameras and condemn speeding as being the same as (or possibly worse than) shoplifting? Could it be that you're just as anti-motorist as Chapman after all? I've never thought so, but it puzzles me that you're so eager to call speeding "dangerous" when you clearly think nothing of the kind.
