Roads Policing Chief Med Hughes caught speeding
There is an interesting debate taking place, arising out of this recent incident, regarding what constitutes speeding: exceeding a legally defined limit or driving at a speed which is unsafe for the prevailing conditions? Many of us in road safety believe over-zealous insistence on the former has led drivers to become incompetent with regards to the latter, failing to adjust their speed appropriately when within the legal limit.
