    What is the outside lane ?

    Come on , old man, even the police doesn't care for 10 mph on the motorway.

      I'm in deeper do-do than that by a very, very long way.

      I can say no more.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Certainly not when sockpuppets are driving.

          it's normally speed limit plus 10% + 3mph eg: 70 + 7 + 3 = 80

          However I have been done for 78 on a motorway and 31 in a 30 mph urban dual carragway.

          Your speedometer must over read by a minimum 3% by law so when it reads 80 you are probally doing 77ish. (Check with you sat-nav)

          If the polce will probbably needed two fixed points to catch you out and they may have faild to do so in your case.

            Girly is a senior police officer and likes to chase me. Used to freak me out when she'd be in their latest unmarked car, as I obviously wouldn't recognise it was her, but I'm cool with it now, and play along. Especially when I'm on a bike or motorcycle and take detours up narrow paths and she has to work out alternate routes.

            So I'd say being chased by the plod is great fun, I really enjoy it.

                    If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little see-saw, then jump through a hoop of fire. They're trained for that.
