....and a car emerges from a junction, possibly erratically. Your massive, speeding M5 takes it out. Or you get a blow out. Anything unexpected can happen and if you're driving at speed you're less likely to be able to resolve it
And the Gatso? You're speeding, you're caught. Pay the fine and move on.
