Speeding idiots do make life more difficult for other road users
( sometimes) but I'd pay much more  attention to the idiots not paying
attention ( be they in control of cars, buses, bikes or just their own
feet).  Even within the magic "number on a stick" they could still
kill you and the speed limit doesn't apply to bikes ( who might not
even be on the road)

This paying attention on the road melarky extend to everyone though
large sections of the populace seem unaware of this :(
