Which doesn't alter the undisputable figures of the number of people killed and seriously injured in road traffic accidents. Some are pedestrians others are vehicle occupants.

I cannot see how anyone can justify breaking the law particularly when any accident, for whatever reason, that involves that driver speeding can have more serious consequences than if he was driving within the law. Can anyone give a valid reason why they should be breaking the speed limit?
