Peter, you wrote:

"Or are they going to persist in saying things like: "everyone speeds, and I thank god that they do."

That is a pretty pathetic argument to try and convince people that fast traffic is safer than slow traffic and that speed cameras *increase* road deaths. How can you argue sensibly with such people?"
