I am a firm believer that while excessive speeding is dangerous and bad, not all speeding is. For example, driving 11 mph over the limit on the freeway in a well-maintained car when you're dead sober and paying complete attention isn't that dangerous. Driving 60 mph in a school zone is. I also firmly believe that speeding enforcement is often more about revenue collection than safety.
