Disadvantages: I paid a lot of money for my car

I've never had a problem with speed limits and speed cameras generally. In fact I don't think I've ever been caught speeding. But I heard on the news that they are going to be introducing a new speed limit of 50 mph on rural roads! I frequently drive across open moorland roads with long straight sections and not a sole on the road. If I'm suppose to start trundling along at 50 miles a hour then Im sorry I just wont. I'd go to prison over it. Its ridiculous. The ones who crash on these empty rural roads are reckless inexperienced young drivers with cars full of passengers. These kids are doing way over 70 and go round the corners on two wheels, at least the ones that overtake me are. The speed these kids do and the overtaking on bends they do astonishes me, its like they're in a rally car. As they overtake, you just know they are going to end up causing a head on collision or wrapping themselves around a tree. They are the ones who crash on the rural roads, who will continue to speed on the rural roads and its the responsible drivers who will be punished. Ok nuff said!
