Let he who is blameless (or in this case who has never crept above the speed limit inadvertantly, or due to lack of attention or an error of judgement) cast the first stone!

My definition of "Law abiding citizens" people who don't go out to intentionally break the law but may transgress due to an error of judgement or lack of attention to the speed limit. As opposed to non law abiding citizens who choose to go out and break the law such as burglars, car thieves, shoplifters etc.

Semantics!

Circumstances, place, time and society determine acceptable behaviours. The application of a binary notion of law abiding and not law abiding to describe behaviour which should be considered within the above parameters is unhelpful. Those who transgress a speed limit through circumstance are not judged as 'law breakers' by society, nor do the courts treat such perpetrators as criminals. Your argument, as has been suggested, relies on semantics.

You could then add your mitigation for excessive speed, can't think of any off the top of my head, but I'm sure there must be hundreds of valid reasons.

The best one I heard was this:

Policeman pulls over man for speeding and says to the man

"It's the end of my shift, I have had a good day, so if you can give me the best reason I have ever heard for speeding, I will let you go"

The motorist says " Some years ago my wife ran off with a policeman. I though you might be bringing her back!"

The Policeman said " Thank you sir, have a nice day"

I wonder what the OP has decided to do. Any news yet??

ome might say that habitual speeders were: Unlucky / careless / unable to learn from past mistakes

So what are the other alternatives of it? May it favorably works for them...Find functiosn of body kit

re-exceeding the speed limit?

How's about folk who simply just..do not care?

To whom ignoring the speed limit is simply a matter of what is convenient, or inconvenient, for them at the time?

Flouting the Law [which we all vote for, one way or another...and can change by similar means if we so wish....but far too many cannot be bothered?}]....in this respect is a purely selfish act.

We do it for our own convenience......because it suits us to ignore the Law.

However, once brought to account, we endlessly seek the most feeble excuses to justify our behaviour.

Fact is, most simply do not care when ignoring the rules. They do not care what effect their law-flouting has on other road users, or the quality of life of others, who may live nearby?

And, if the argument that [in this instance] unintentionally exceeding the posted limit should not leave us vilified, what about the notion of failing in our duties as drivers of motor vehicles, to exercise proper care and attention to the task we have been given a licence for?

Or, as I suspected years ago, are our licences now universally seen as mere personal travel passes?
