Thanks for that heads up!!
Most people feel the same way and fortunately physics is on our side. If you use your head, there's just no way for anyone to enforce the speed limit on the broads using current law enforcement speed measurement gear. To measure speed accurately, LIDAR and radar require the target to be reasonably close and moving directly toward or directly away from the LIDAR/radar. It's really easy to avoid that situation out there. IMO, if you are over 45 MPH and someone can accurately/legally measure your speed, you are being unsafe.
