For the believer, there are sins that do not lead unto death and sins that do lead unto death (See 1 John 5:16-18). Paul lists those sins several times that lead unto death in Galatians 5:19-21, Ephesians 5:3-5, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Colossians 3:5-7, Romans 1:28-32. John also lists certain sins that will lead a person unto the "Second Death" or the Lake of Fire. For John says that any man who hates his brother is a murderer, and we know no murderer has eternal life abiding in them (1 John 3:15).
Sins that do not lead unto death are hidden or secret faults Psalm 19:12 or confessed sin (See 1 John 1:2, 1 John 1:9, Luke 18:9-14). But no, a believer is not going to Hell if they happen to break the speed limit. However, if they murder someone, then they are committing that type of sin that leads unto death and it needs to be repented of (Because it is a serious sin that will lead unto death). In fact, we know not all sin is the same because there are some sins that cannot be forgiven (Like speaking bad against the Holy Spirit, committing suicide, and rejecting Jesus while having the Spirit (i.e. apostasy).

scripture has been posted but i don't see it harmonize with what was said in post# 8.
The law came via Moses and if you break one law then you have offended the whole thing.
Scripture should harmonize with scripture.
How can what you said be true then why did JESUS come to fulfill GODs perfect standard of righteousness?
The governments are there to keep some semblance of peace in society for mankind but GOD will only except perfection so then i don't see how what you said is the same thing James is talking about.
I stand by post#24

when i drive along, sometimes i wonder if it's a worse sin to go 5 or 8 miles over the posted speed limit, or to knowingly cause dangerous traffic conditions and offend & enrage my neighbors-on-the-expressway by following strictly the sign on a road where the average speed is 10-15 mph more than what's posted.
ex. -- a part of freeway i drive on regularly is posted 50mph. average speed during morning/evening rush hour is at least 70mph.
what's the right thing to do?

You're knowingly doing something illegal that can endanger the life of yourself or others. Coming from someone that bikes, I hate aggressive drivers. I guess I shouldn't say hate.. Aggressive drivers get under my skin. I think speeding is equally important because when you're driving, it's not like you're going slow. You're either speeding or losing focus on the road, or both. People usually lie when get caught, and try to deflect the blame when they get handed a ticket. As far as what can the church do? Unless you want to have a sermon on speeding, I don't really know what we can do.
