My take is that the law is there to protect those without your ability.
ie: other driver does something stupid, you hit him through no fault of your own, your speeding he dies, your not speeding he lives.
I know its a very simplistic example but I'm sure you'll get my point.


As for the rest of this tread, I'd love to sit down for a few pints lads, but I can't be arsed typing all I have to say.
