So that means I take it that as long as I keep to 30ish

shouldnt be A problem doesnt bother me too much nore concerned if it was A trait that others should be aware of , had A very nice man flash his blue lights at me the other day so I take it was not happy with me doing +10%

thats the theory.

But I can't imagine the police bothering to flash someone doing 2-3 mph over the limit.....sure its as little as that?

I guess he followed me for about 2 miles in which I could possibly have let it slide A little

over the 30 mark on my speedo but then I did indicate and turn left very quicklyin front of him

didnt realise he was who he was & just thought it was someone being very silly sitting too close

Just be aware that is guidance only not statutory and some stick on at limit +10%

Always been a bone of contention that one.
