70mph is the *law* whether I or you like it or not. If you break the law then
you should be nicked. Yes... maybe you should be nicked for driving at an
inappropriate speed as well. However if a child runs out into the road and
you are doing 20mph you are still going to kill him/her. Food for thought isnt
it?
