I've never been prosecuted for doing 80 down the motorway even though I've gone past many cameras doing that, and if you use common sense when you're driving then you'll be fine. Don't go faster than the person in front of you, and if you want to then overtake them and move back into that lane. If someones tailgating then move out of their way if you can or slow down if you can't. Reduce speed for bends, and reduce speed for certain weather conditions and most of all leave a big enough gap between you and the person in front. A lower speed limit doesn't automatically make you a good/better/safer driver, its about how you drive and how you react to what you're faced with. I think I'm a good and safe driver.

If you've got a good enough attention span and keep to the basics ie checking mirrors then theres no way at all how you can have an accident on the motorway. You don't even have to use your clutch for the most post, its just constant acceleration.

Not been driving that long yet you've already 25% of the way to losing your licence.

As for your final paragraph. What utter nonsense - especially the last 4 words.
