There are dammned motorists too ...for his moment of inattention.

Last year I was send on a speed awareness course, having been clocked at 34 mph in a 30 mph zone. In legal terms, that was speeding. But in reality it was much more 'driving without due care and attention': I was simply unaware that the limit had dropped for a distance of some 300m from 40, to 30, then back up.

In truth, I am far more worried about that lack of attention than I am about few mph too high. Lack of attention is the killer in the end.
