I drive like a granny, so I just dont get people who speed. I think it was @mik who posted a chart that showed that actual amount of time that you "save" by speeding. It is literally only seconds.

Unless you are traveling thousands of kilometers on a trip, there really is no time benefit to speeding.

If the limit is 65 and I'm doing 80, I save 1:44 every 10 miles.

thanks George. That is what I was thinking of.

I remember reading about a guy who was speeding through a construction zone and killed a worker.

He was sentenced to jail, and his courtroom speech during sentencing was something like, "Trying to save 15 seconds cost me 10 years. I dont know why I thought that 15 seconds of time savings was worth the risk"
