That's fair enough, you weren't able to understand something that seemed very clear. It's not a problem.

Yep.
Even if not the cause of an accident it dramatically affects the outcome.
Interesting write up
Extract:
Speed Kills - The faster the speed of a vehicle, the greater the risk of an accident. The forces experienced by the human body in a collision increase exponentially as the speed increases. Smart Motorist recommends that drivers observe our 3 second rule in everyday traffic, no matter what your speed. Most people agree that going 100 mph is foolhardy and will lead to disaster. The problem is that exceeding the speed limit by only 5 mph in the wrong place can be just as dangerous. Traffic engineers and local governments have determined the maximum speeds allowable for safe travel on the nation's roadways. Speeding is a deliberate and calculated behavior where the driver knows the risk but ignores the danger. Fully 90% of all licensed drivers speed at some point in their driving career; 75% admit to committing this offense regularly.
Consider this example: a pedestrian walks out in front of a car. If the car is traveling at just 30 mph, and the driver brakes when the pedestrian is 45 feet away, there will be enough space in which to stop without hitting the pedestrian. Increase the vehicle speed by just 5 mph and the situation changes dramatically. At 35 mph, with the pedestrian 45 feet away and the driver braking at the same point, the car will be traveling at 18 mph when it hits the pedestrian. An impact at 18 mph can seriously injure or even kill the pedestrian.

Re: I was one of the 1074 caught by the new camera
I understood what you wrote.
"...not all cops [here] don't [practise it] and all cops in the UK do"
And I understood what you intended to write after you corrected yourself with the extra "NOT".
"...NOT ALL COPS [in Australia] don't [apply commonsense] and NOT ALL COPS in the UK DO".
Although you could have just got away with capitalising the extra "NOT". All that extra capitalisation just reminds me of Katter the Mad Hatter trying to shout down anyone who doesn't agree with him.

Or as I like to say "Only a **** tailgates the car in front".
