I know it goes a bit offtracks, but I dare answer "yes", which will let you 
rethink about the First law of Diplomacy ("never ask a question in a way 
that a positive answer will throw you off-balance", because diplomats 
always answer positively) :

I know of a guy who insists that the right speed between point A and point 
B is about 65 km/h, because there is little danger in doing so and it 
minimizes fuel consumption and pollution. The limit is 50 km/h. He claims 
that, since he spoils the air in a lesser extent, his behaviour is good 
citizenship, and that his wins in consumption outwegh his losses in fines. 
Perhaps the guy is right.

Best regards
