    I do drive in Germany a lot, and I stick to the speed limit out of principle.
    (GPS speed, not what the speedometer shows)
    It’s a lot more relaxing not to worry about speed cameras at all.
    And in my experience, it’s not an issue at all. Certainly not less safe.
    There are some assholes who will tailgate and pass dangerously, but they also do that when I’m going 10 over.

      You are correct.

      The entire argument feels like a “want a cigarette?” because if you’re smoking yourself you won’t be bothered by other people’s second hand smoke… Drive the speed limit when there is one, it is the only reasonable thing to do. People annoyed by that have a problem, not you.
