I said I drive fast....not stupid.

And I'm afraid it's numbskulls such as yourself and Mr Deegan that can't differentiate between the two.

Accidents do happen even when the drivers are driving to the conditions of the road and within limits ,people will die or get badly injured .The limits are there as a compromise between getting from A-B in a timely fashion and as safely as possible ,they are not a target to be reached and passed .
