I drive the speed limit now when i have to BC I have a bad record..and I have been busted by cops like 3 times in the past 4 mths!!!!
the only people who get caught that often are the ones who drive not paying attention to whats around them i.e. cops parked on the sides...
so if you drive while in you're own little bubble/world then yes you deserve those tickets because you're a danger on the road.
I remember cops over here put large illuminated panels telling that a police operation was underway to check speeding on the highway in the next 500 meters and believe it or not, they caught a shitload of people. Because these morons not only speed but don't pay attention to the road/warnings... good for them.

Let's all recite what we learned about defensive driving in driving school, folks:
Go with the flow.
If you're in the right lane, nobody should get angry as long as you're going a reasonable speed (10 km under the limit on side roads, 20 on highways). However, if you're in a passing lane, there's no excuse for this behaviour.
I'll spare you the details of what I personally do to jerks who cut me off or intentionally slow down in front of me in passing lanes; however, keep in mind that if you make this "manoeuvre", you are not only inducing road rage, but in fact inducing an unsafe condition that will likely lead to a collision.
And how dare you tell people to "leave earlier" - what if the person behind you is a surgeon who just got called to the hospital? Or a CEO who just got off a plane driving to a stockholder's meeting? You have no right to assume that your time is more important than anyone else's on the road.

So far I can't see that happening ... I might be very wrong.

It's true, even if people are doing 100 km in a 50 KM zone, you gotta do the same or you'll fuck up a lot of lives here.
