There is a difference between:-

a. Rash driving
b. Overspeeding
c. Speeding

a is a very subjective thing, unless results / consequences follow. b is relatively easy to identify - it istravelling above allowed speed limits. c. is plain indeterminate. Is driving at 10KMPH speeding? And if traffic around is crawling at 5kmph, what exactly are you doing? Speeding? or overspeeeding?

And when traffic around is going at 100KMPH, it is simply unsafe to drive at 40KMPH. A speed governorwill not help here.

<joke>BTW, when I heard of them for first time, I thought "speed governors" are the guys / gals who live in Raj Bhavans and go around in high speed vehicles. </joke>
