80 MPH Speed Limit?

[plod]

the formula for a speeding ticket is 10% of limit + 2mph so 80 will be the new 90

why does they add two miles per hour onto the ten per cent ?

It's to account for discrepancies with speedometers. The Police have their speedometers regularly calibrated but the general public do not. If you have a Satnav that shows your speed then you will see a difference between that and your speedometer.

Got caught doing 80 in a 60 zone in a fleet car registered to someone else. They went over the time limit trying to track me and dropped it.

the polis lost my licence

they tried to do me for doing 61 in a 40 but had to drop that one as the limit wasn't 40

otherwise if you get done by a camera

wait til you receive the second reminder and call them and ask for the original ticket

then call every three weeks, yeah even if you received it, to ask if they have sent it and ask for a new one as the post is dodgy, ' please send by registered' - they wont

by the fourth call they will drop it

that works with essex police and the met
