At this point I'm going to stop going around in circles and assume that you're not getting your point across very well. Because, from what you've written you're not as safe as you think you are. The reality, of course, may be quite different.

that 1 km/h over is a byatch ....I mean if those 44 people had been travelling at 99 km/h they would have been fine ........

TV said so

That will look really cool on your headstone.

I've always thought the most appropriate epitaph to be one I read years ago

"I expected this, but not so soon"

And it probably would have been 45 dead if the so-called 1kph over-and-ticket thing had never existed.

I blame the public, the ones that equated "1kph over and you will be stopped" to "1kph over and you will get a ticket"

If they think like that then lord knows how they think when actually driving - well the ones that DO think...

I blame the cops, why bother to stop people doing 1km over at all?

Air Force pilots, astronauts and motorcycle racers often talk about "the zone".Hmm. Obviously Tinfoil Hatman missed that one.

Given the lack of discretion that has been previously publicised this is a perfectly logical assumption. The police need to learn that these are people they're dealing with, not automaton mind readers.

Ah, that great word 'assumption'...

We don't all have the time to research everything to the nth degree. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is logical to assume it is a duck.

The process of assumption is something that all higher order animals do. Any species that doesn't dies out pretty quick because they spend so much time concerned about things that are of no real consequence that they don't have any left to sustain themselves or procreate.

I didn't do it.

Just heard an ad on the radio, basically saying "there will be thousands of police on the roads enforcing the speed limit, when we target speeding, we see less deaths and less injuries, the rest is up to you" basically the ad is saying don't speed, but we wont bother looking for any other traffic violation.

Police officers are not morons. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the people they report to.
