Break the speeding laws you get punished if caught and not the car which is capable of doing 155+ on a german autobahn.. The cars never at fault, take a driver out of a Bugati Veryon and how many speed limits will it break...not one..
Point is, nobody advocates speeding in 30 or 40 zone, in a built up area.

However, when you're talking about dual carriageways and above it is quite safe to travel at speed on these roads in certain conditions at certain times of the day. Especially in modern vehicles.

But we're constrained by archaic speed limits set when an austin 7 was considered a performace vehicle and driving tests consisted on driving forwards and backwards 10 feet.

If the collapse of speed cameras is the only thing that comes from voting in the coalition then it's been well worth it IMO.
