If I remember rightly based on the gov's own figures it was between 4-6% Of deaths/serious injuries that was down to speeding.
Like schwee says, it's about time they stop trying to divert the public eye away from the real problem...the standard of driving/riding on UK roads.
As I've always said, taking your test just once and then thats it for life is madness...they should make regular retests the law in this country!
End of the day doesn't matter how slow you make someone drive, if they are a bad/dangerous driver, they are still going to cause an accident...unless you set all roads to 0mph LOL
I really am sick to death of this current gov...only problem is nothing short of a sucessful terrorist attack is ever going to get rid of them...so might as well move to a different country that ain't so messed up! ;D
