• That's your opinion, the committee that decided on the limit based on facts clearly disagree. Again, you clearly seem to think that you know best.

    EDIT: What ffm said basically.

  • If course it is my opinion. I indicated that by saying "I think it is arbitrary". I don't understand why and I can't see a good reason for it ... I dont overly care to find either.

    I just drive at the speed indicated.

  • I just drive at the speed indicated.

    No you don't, you drive at the very limit, there's a big difference.

    Again, do you know what limit mean?

  • I indicated that by saying "I think it is arbitrary"

    Actually you said that it IS arbitrary.

    The point is that the limits are what they are for a reason, regardless of whether you understand why, and regardless of whether you care to find out the reasons why.

    You claim to drive within the speed limit, yet believe them to be arbitrary, doesn't this suggest that you might sympathise with someone who's been caught by the police driving 5mph over the limit? What about someone who's killed someone who might otherwise have survived had they driven 5mph slower? Do you sympathise with the driver, or do you throw the book at them for having driven above the limit, a limit which you believe is arbitrary?
