Got a moment for a questionnaire regarding riding speed?
For each question write down the number corresponding to the answer that applies to you during everyday riding (not during emergency riding).
1 - Never or very infrequently
2 - Quite infrequently
3 - Infrequently
4 - Frequently
5 - Always
How often do you exceed the 70 mph limit during a motorway journey?
How often do you exceed the speed limit in built up areas?
How often do you ride fast?
Highlight just below this line when you are done.
When you have finished you can add up the numbers. If you scored less than 7, you tend to speed infrequently. If you scored between 7 and 12, you tend to speed a little more frequently. If you scored more than 12, you tend to speed often. Drivers who indicate on this questionnaire that they speed often have about three times the accident risk of those who speed infrequently.

Do you agree with the conclusion about your risk? Are there factors that make the risk less serious when you are concerned?
I figured it would be good to hear from the folks over here too.
