Could you elaborate on some of the safety reasons for exceeding the speed limit, to help me understand?

We use average speed cameras in the UK to enforce temporarily reduced speed limits during road repairs on the motorways. It seems to work quite well, it certainly feels like most people adhere to the reduced limits.

Personally, I am aware that if I speed (for whatever internal justification I convince myself of), I just need to reduce my average speed by the time I pass the next camera (they're big and yellow and deliberately conspicuous so drivers know where they are).

Health emergencies or something like that. Though I think it'd be pretty straightforward to say "hey I was going to the hospital, overturn this ticket please" after the fact.
