If you are caught by a cam on a DC (assuming national speed limits), it
follows that you are driving at more than 70mph. The fact you think this
is a problem indicates your limited consideration for other road users.
*You* might be perfectly in control of your car at 125 mph, but since
others on the road are not also doing comparable speeds, you are a
significant danger to *them*, especially when it comes to them changing
lanes to overtake, for example. Few drivers are actually as good as they
think they are, and the best ones consider others as well as themselves
more than your comment suggests you do.
