Many people are speeding, not keeping to the speed limit.
Have you actually read any of the articles on the links I have posted

Who Speeds?5
On 30 mph roads in built-up areas, 45% of car drivers exceed 30 mph and 15% exceed 35 mph. On 40 mph roads in built-up areas, just over one fifth (21%) of car drivers speed, and 7% go faster than 45 mph. On single carriageway 60 mph roads in non-built-up areas, 7% of drivers speed but only 1% go over 70 mph On 70 mph dual carriageways in non-built-up areas, over one third of car drivers (37%) exceed the speed limit, with 10% of those going over 80 mph. On motorways in non-built-up areas with 70 mph limits, almost half (46%) of car drivers exceed the speed limit, with 11% going faster than 80 mph.

I drive at the very limit in my speed demon of a car which is an EcoFlex Astra ... Christ. If it is a 50 limit, I am doing somewhere between 45 and 50 like everyone else.
