Steve, Fine so you can drive better than most. Know something, almost all of us think that, including those who cause accidents. But speed limits are there to protect us all from the idiots who wrongly think they can drive faster and better than they really can.
Whilst you may be able to drive safely faster than others, unfortunately there are a lot of other road users who cannot, thus you may kill them and others, albeit as a result of their inability to drive safely.
(PS I too have been a biker, cyclist and car driver for 55 years and still have a 600 cc bike, a car and a road racing cycle, but as I have got older I have come to realise that my opinion about my driving perfection was probably wrong)
