Yep I was bored.

 

[kiza1986]

Isnt it that your allowed 5% over or something??

 

[Greeny.]

nearly at the 30k milestone

 

[Ryan]

10% of the speed limit + 2MPH

 

[edde]

10% of the speed limit + 2MPH

Thats speeding standard. It was taken by many police forces that so long as you were no more than 105+ 2 over the limit they wouldn't charge as it would be pedantic.
If you do 31mph in a 30 its illegal but forces used to have a thing that 35mph would be ignored only over that they would procacure.
Speedo can overead but never underread I'm not sure how much they can overread by though and still be legal.

TBH if I got caught doing 71 in a 70 whats the chances of me getting done? They wouldnt watse there time stopping me!

Exactly plus its not a good reputation. Thats why there was an unwitten popular rule thing saying 10%+2mph.

 

[Ryan]

So why is my speed of 71MPH being discussed?

 

[Ryan]

Can someone please photoshop this pic and put the speedo at 69MPH please?
