Connection - what connection?

A very interesting report published the other day revealed that older drivers get proportionately far more speeding tickets than young drivers. Why interesting? Well, as any insurance company will tell you, in terms of their involvement in accidents, older drivers are far far safer than young drivers. So it would seem that the much-vaunted supposed relationship between exceeding the speed limit and driving dangerously on which so much of our road traffic law is based simply doesn't exist. It would be nice to think that someone in authority will take some notice of this, but I'm not holding my breath.
