I think speeding is largely ok dependant on the driver. I know for sure i'm a safer drive than my mum even if i'm driving twice as fast as she is
At the end of the day the government is slowly brainwashing us to make us think speeding in any form is unacceptable. 30 or so years ago drink driving was the norm and everyone on the road after pub closing time was considered to be drunk (this is how my dad recalls it anyway driving home after 7 pints using the kirb regularly

) my grandad still doesn't see the problem with drink driving as do a lot of people his age!
Now look at everyone reaction to drink drivers (and rightly so), this will be peoples reaction to speeders in 10 years time if the government get their way

Seems to be working already reading this thread
