Caught by the fuzz!
« on: 08 February 2013, 19:02 »
So just left work earlier and was just accelerating up to cruising speed on the A road out of the town where i work. When I got pulled by the fuzz  :sad: Copper asked me what speed I thought I was doing, I said 70mph. He said try again, I said more than 70mph? He said I must have been doing 80-90mph as they had to do over 100mph to catch up. Of course I couldn't possibly comment! Luckily he let me off with a warning and said watch your speed. Few! Could've have been a bad start to the weekend!

Most folk sit 85 surely? Why isn't speed limit 80? Think how much safer the cars nowadays are and the speed limits still 70??

The speed limit on a single lane A road is 60mph. I generally do 70mph on this road.

Because if the speed limit was 80 everyone would sit at 95.

They seem to be reducing the speed limits everywhere at the moment around where I live.  All nice 60mph roads have been reduced to 50 and 40 and I think its a joke.

The problem comes when they increase the speed limits due to the progression of cars and then idiots buy those cars and stick them into a tree!!
