Maintaining your speed has always been a requirement of driving...
Anyone who can't perform this most basic fundamental driving function without becoming a distracted death risk on the road should hand their license in now...

You're stretching it a bit far there. From what I have heard, in Vic, even just a couple of K's over the limit, and the cameras will book you. And for those people who don't have cruise control, don't know the area well or are changing from different speeds (ie from 50km/h to an 80km/h road), they will most definitely be paying more attention to their speedo than anything you mentioned above.
Here in Canberra, I'm very happy with the way our roads are going. I basically don't even have to look at my speedo when I drive. Maybe one little glance and that's it. But its far more tight in Vic and understandable that one would pay more attention to their speedo.
And if a police officer pulled me over for running over a person, there would be a very strong chance that the pedestrian was in fault, so I would need no excuse.
