Have to agree with you there. Speeding in itself is not necessarily dangerous. It's all about the situation and ability of the driver to determine when they should slow down for hazards - which comes down a lot of the time to experience.

I hate the fact that I can get pinged for doing 110 on an empty freeway but a person won't get booked for flying round a blind bend or over the brow of the hill at 99Kph when they clearly couldn't stop in the distance that they can see.
