Safety Camera Questionaire

I have completed the online safety Revenue/Speed Camera Questionnaire, but I am concerned about the style of questioning. Especially when the questions are along the lines of I break the speed limit less than I used to. If you answer no to this question then there are two possible reasons 1 - You always try to drive within the speed limit so nothing has changed 2 - You don't care about speed limits and you only slow down if you see a camera. They are 2 very different styles of driving with very different implications yet the survey is unable to distinguish between the two. In fact the whole survey seems to imply that if you drive a car you must regularly break the speed limit.

Big [^] for spotting that one. The interpreter of the results could make the "no" answers fit whatever was wanted or discount them altogether.
