The fact that you have collected a ticket at all tells you loud and clear that your awareness level is not good enough imho, my last was in 1986 and I have tried not to get another one by using just a little more concentration.
By all means take advantage of your onboard speed limiting devices (as I do) but I think they are responsible in part for people becoming lazy drivers and unaware of the prevailing conditions.
I also like stretching the Plus 8 legs in the right area at the right time of day and it certainly wouldn't be on the OP road.
