I never said it wasn't "possible not to speed". However, in practice, it *is* impossible for a regular, remotely competent driver who ever goes more than a few miles from their home to keep up the not speeding 100.00000000% of the time. Anyone who claims to be able to manage that is likely always making improbable, arrogant claims about their abilities.

(And if you're going to be patronising, it's best to learn how to spell simple words like "brake".)
