Hey world! I have no intention of obeying the law. I will continue to drive at what I feel is a safe speed, regardless of arbitrary numbers painted on metal.
Well then don't whinge when you get fined & hopefully loss of licence.

I guess she's stating the obvious, but so? I was actually going to post exactly what she said before I read hers.
Would they continue to thumb their noses when they seriously hurt someone in a car crash? Only time will tell.

With reference to 'conditions', I assume that you are referring to wet, icy or gravel roads?
ianvestor said:There are a million other 'conditions', eg. potholes, skinny lanes and parked cars on both sides of the road, pedestrians everywhere, bad camber on turns, etc. It's an endless list.

With reference to 'conditions', I assume that you are referring to wet, icy or gravel roads? If so, I agree that everyone should know that they should drive slower / more carefully on such roads.
I am unaware of any situations which allow anyone (excepting ambulances and such) to go above the listed speed limit, and would appreciate your further advice on this.
PS: i find it funny Strannik, that you have a link to your business i suppose..? Posts like this in my opinion isn't going to increase your clientelle.

Now what Mazda was saying is it is ILLEGAL to break the speed limit, unless you are an emergency vehicle. Whether it is safe or not is irrelevant.
If you drive the speed limit, and pay attention to surroundings and take into account certain conditions, you are more likely to remain safe on the roads.
Also in an accident, yes, newer vehicles do handle better. I agree. BUT in saying this, it's usually the drivers fault, no matter the type of car.
And i know you, and many others are going to slam me for this post, but i really don't care. Just because i'm young and have less experience means jack in this situation. I will choose to stick to the speed limit and pay attention, and hope that i don't encounter a colision with someone who is completely disrespectful to everyone else on the road.
