WE''RE STILL SPEEDING A survey by Direct Line released today reveals that 94% of motorists admit to breaking speed limits. Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign said: ''After 12 years of speed cameras drivers'' speeding behaviour is unchanged. Far from being a problem, drivers selecting an appropriate speed according to the conditions is of fundamental importance to road safety. Sometimes they set safe and appropriate speeds above the speed limit - to do so isn''t reckless, careless or irresponsible - they are just fulfilling their fundamental duty to road safety by setting a speed that''s safe and appropriate for the conditions.'' ''We have speeding magistrates, speeding off duty senior police officers, speeding senior politicians and speeding royals. To suggest that exceeding a speed limit in itself is irresponsible is completely absurd - the competent and careful actions of a majority of responsible people should obviously be considered legal.'' ''Speed limit enforcement is way out of line with practical reality - far from blaming the public, we must blame the government for obsessive and destructive enforcement of a arbitrary law.'' ''I blame cameras - we''re obsessed with the wrong safety factor''
