I don't agree.  Granted it's not full justification, but there must be
something wrong with a law if most people don't adhere to it.  (Or
there is something wrong about the way we regard that law.)  This goes
for the 100 kph speed limit; and if police can use radar to enforce a
law which most people do not agree with, then I feel it is fair to
protect oneself by using a detector.

>(Excessive) speed kills.

Yup.
