Poll: What would stop you breaking speed limits?

The thing that has really put a crimp in my style here in the western US is all the deer running around. I once hit one in an old Ford station wagonn I bought from my uncle. The thing was a behemoth but hitting a doe at 60 did unbeleivable damage to the car. I have talked to a number of guys who thought nothing about going well over 100 o thier bikes on roads through the mountains or the desert. I can just imagine what would happen if they hit a deer!

I'm all for speed limits in built up areas and don't break them especially around schools, houses playgrounds etc. However open A/B roads are fair game. I think they should remove national speed limits and let common sense take over. Increase the number of Po Po on patrol to make sure that no one is exceeding the "safe to do so" speeds. If you're doing 100+ approaching a junction with no regard for who might be pulling out then shame on you. People need to be able to take responsibility for their actions and the concequences but lets not remove common sense from the equation. For these people who think the Gov knows best...just take a look at why speed limits were originally introduced and the very small number, around 1.6%, of accidents that speed is the contributing factor.

On a recent trip along the A4055 Fosse way..... you know... the dead straight Roman road... which is erm.... straight !....Some half wit has installed raised rumble "hurdles" that are dark red coloured, for no other reason than to completely throw you about ....I would hate to have to break quickly on them ( and im not talking about a layer of paint here) . Whats more a 50 mph limit has been imposed and there are lots of signs saying "Think Bike"............. Tell you what... let's take a few road/safety experts for a spot of pillion education For starters I would pick a nice newly surfaced.... Loose gravel road , I could go on and on.
