does anyone else notice that the person pulled said they were 'genuinely speeding'? as in they didn't notice the change in speed limit? personally i find the idea of that as an excuse pretty reprehensible.
its a very reasonable step to assume that a computing device attached to your face is not going to help you pay attention to such things - this one data point supports that claim (it is still one data point, but this is the only safe conclusion to draw realistically). in these cases i think 'better safe than sorry' - you will get in trouble for reading a book, using your phone or even smoking a cigarette if it is distracting you from driving. Google Glass is nothing special in this regard - aside from its popularity amongst vocal hipsters on the internet.
also, don't get me wrong, i am in favour of speeding - but i knowingly break the law when i do it and will have to live with the consequences...
still curious to see how this plays out, but utterly convinced this is a case of 'your own stupid fault for doing something stupid'.
