Some areas are "zero tolerance" so in theory you'd get done for 71. There is no national hard and fast rule other than the actual speed limit itself, what speed you get done at over that is up to the policy set by the areas chief constable or the officer who pulls you that day...........if his/her moning bacon butty was not to his/her liking or their hair didn't look good on last nights police, camera action prog. you can be in trouble at just 1mph over. Follow Andy B's advice and don't go over the limit at all or try not to get caught.......tough choice  Ray. | |

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.  | |
