Speeding

Speeding - very tempting. I think everyone who drives a car regularly is now and then temped to drive just a little bit faster than allowed. Because you are in a hurry, you're not paying attention to your speed, you're annoyed by a car in front of you, because you want to show off, etc. Or just because you can, if there is no or little traffic on the road and you're driving somewhere you don't have to worry about being caught. Bad, bad, bad. You should obey the rules, obey the law and obey the speeding limit. This speeding limit is there for a reason, to protect other people and to protect yourself. The worst speeders are those who drive recklessly and in a built-up area, without considering other people who are participating in traffic. It's a miracle you don't see too many accidents during a day, if you count the speeding cars in built-up areas.
However, sometimes I think the speeding limit is rubbish. Safe and quiet roads, without any danger of hurting yourself or other people with ridiculously low speeding limits. And why? Whoever put it there has to be tempted to speed himself when driving that road. It makes no sense! So, to sum it up: everybody speeds sometimes, but when you do you, make sure you're not endangering others (I don't care about endangering yourself; that's your own responsibility).
