We all hear of claims that the police should be concentrating efforts and resources on catching 'real criminals'. I am acutely aware that there are far more innocent people killed every day on UK roads than are killed unlawfully by so called 'real criminals' committing manslaughter, murder etc.
Speed limits are, for the whole, there for a reason. Our highways are just that. They are not racetracks, and regardless of self perceived skill and/or technical attributes of our motor vehicles, these highways are full of people of all ages and abilities who have the absolute right to travel in a safe environment.
Yes we all push and stretch the limits a little, but just imagine if there were none ??
I imagine this every time I ride.
