For many years the public was encouraged to believe that any motorist or motorcyclist in the habit of travelling fast was, ipso facto, a dangerous, irresponsible person, who should not only have had his licence suspended but should have been put in prison and if possible certified as a lunatic. Really, of course, it is quite the other way about.
