Hypothetically:
On the bike (when I still had a road bike...watch this space) i would ride to the prevailing conditions and my level of competence. This would possibly see me hitting 140kph or more during overtaking or on safer sections of road. It would also see me doing the speed limit or less in areas where I knew that the risk was higher and/or the conditions dictated that a lower speed was necessary. Hence, theoretically, I have had a cop let slide that I passed him at over double the legal limit on the open road, but have also been pulled over for 62 kph in a 50kph zone. Was by a school and I think that a ticket was absolutely warranted and I actually had no beef on the matter at all. It is retarded to speed in and around schools...was a lapse in attention on my behalf.
In the car, I am somewhat more sedate these days. I happen to own a pretty quick car and will on occasion overtake with gusto, but will always slow down to travelling circa 100-110kph. I like to tackle twisty sections of road with "enthusiasm", however these days that is tuned down quite a lot. Just hate being stuck behind morons who are straight road or overtaking warriors who don't know how to drive through twisty roads properly.
I used to be quite a bit "faster" on the road until the day (3 or 4 years ago) that I was one of the first to come across an accident that shook me up a bit. Was a head on with a 4x4 vs. truck and there were kids involved 1-2 year olds. A 16 year old ended up dying on the scene and two babies were in a serious condition. I know beyond doubt that I am a fast, competent driver with good road craft but I NEVER want to be involved in an accident that see's somebody else's family hurt like that. I would not be able to live with that over my head.
I do not think that reduced speed tolerances are at all the answer. Increased driver education and training is. I recently got back from an overseas trip travelling around 4000kms. This was some open road driving, some highway/motorway and a mix of other stuff. The open road limit was 120kph but mostly the traffic flowed at 140-190kph. Because drivers had a level of courtesy, the trip was a lot less eventful than most holiday weekends in NZ. So often I will need to full onto the hard shoulder because some douchebag has tried a silly overtaking manouver or some other silly shit. Lowering the speed limit or more enforcement of the 100kph limit will not fix this. A head on with two cars doing 100kph is still going to deliver a very bad outcome for all involved.
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
