So contrary to popular belief, it's not the wee ned in a souped up hatchback who's the worst offender for speeding, but your pillar of respectability Range Rover driver. Although that appears to be on motorways rather than urban roads.

It doesn't surprise me that Range Rover drivers have so many speeding convictions. Obedience of the law is for the peasantry!
