I'm with Ains on this one. The limit is the limit. I drive in North Wales most days and here there is no tolerance level so I do an indicated 29 in a 30. In other parts of the country I still stick to speed limits as best I can.
The problems arise when you are followed by one of the '' I don't agree with the speed limits '' brigade who think that by following 6'' off your back bumper you will go faster, which happens at any speed. I had one at the weekend, maintaining 60mph in the astra van on a lovely twisty Welsh A road and 4wd comes up behind and tailgates for about a mile, ignoring several safe passing opportunities, and eventually overtakes on a blind left hand corner.
I caught him up about 5 miles later on an equally twisty B road where I can maintain 60mph and he was struggling to do 45.
