    Just received my Notice of Intended Prosecution

    For speeding. Considering I'm one of the most sensible slow drivers on the planet, it's quite funny really.

    Yep. I challenged a 31mph on a 30mph dual carriageway and ended up with a £350 fine and 3 points. Just pay up.

      I just did online. 37 in a 30. Was one of those large wide straight roads which no signage, being a 30, but feels like a 40 and I wasn't paying enough attention.

      Next time will cycle and shout at the speeding motorists

        These seem a bit at odds. The most sensible drivers pay attention when driving no matter how slowly.

          Well I've been driving nearly 40 years and this is my first driving offence. Never even had a parking ticket before.

            That’s much worse offence …

              Not your first driving offence for sure, but first time caught

                What I mean is the road didn't change in any way, but there is a tiny stretch of 30 limit in between two 40 MPH sections. A license to print money for police officer who was hiding behind a large tree there.

                  As soon as I am in a restricted area, I set the speed limiter to 20, 30 or 40. If need it can be overridden by pressing the accelerator to the floor.

                    Point of order. Any road with streetlights at regular intervals is de facto a 30mph limit unless otherwise stated by relevant signage and repeaters. Why do you think there are NSL repeaters along urban motorways?
