Maybe not inevitable, but by driving at high speeds the chaces of having a serious accident are increased massively

Not many people can say that theirs is. But from what you have yold us, yours is far from it

No, the odds are highly stacked towards you killing someone if you drive at excessive speeds.

And how do you know your assessment is any good at all? It's only your ego that tells you that you are a good driver. But the fact that you admit to driving at excessive speeds, and that you think it is safe to do so, tells us that your assessment is way off the mark.

Driving at high speeds is not considerate to other road users.
How do you think a judge would react to someone saying "I am always considerate to other road users", when standing in the dock for killing a child??
I have to deal with the results of people with the same attitude as people like you on a regular basis.

All they need to do is legalise what currently happens on the road which is the 60, 70, 80 system i mentioned above

Was that a typo??
The national speed limit is 70mph
