    Well none of those actually work. You're more likely to see shooting stars.

    Additionally, if by extreme misfortune one of them does work and catches you just claim the "but the cops are Walloon and therefore must have made a mistake with the camera defence"

    When I become Dictator of the Universe Tincow shall be appointed my Czar of Traffic and have a fleet of laser-death-ray-equipped satellites with which to keep traffic moving smoothly.

    The fact is the difference in transit times between speeding and doing the limit are so small as to be meaningless. All you "accomplish" is meager self-satisfaction and a false sense of beating time. Save the aggro for something that warrants it; relax and enjoy the drive :p

    So you are massivly speeding in residential areas? Legal speeds has to be 10-20 mph for that to be true.

    Now, highway speeding does start to give notable time gains if you drive for 2+ hours in a row.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
