Road design, safety and Vision Zero

London Police have made a very relevant tweet that is getting roasted in the replies at the moment. I wonder what WR police would have to say on this issue.

Hi there! If we busied ourselves with every vehicle driving over the speed limit, we'd never be available for calls for service. Plus, we'd rarely observe drivers at the speeds of stunt driving and other offenses. Officers have to use discretion when enforcing the laws.

I'm sure they have the exact same position.

And I have little doubt they'd also treat it with the same flippancy.

My objection to the tweet isn't really about the reality (the situation today is that the police can't ticket every speeding driver), it is about the attitude behind the tweet. They didn't even bother to suggest that speeding "a little bit" is even wrong.
