we always set our cruise control/speed limiter to the speed limit plus 10% minus 2mph, sorry to anyone on the motorway stuck behind us at 75mph! but we don't sit in the outside lanes, always move straight back to the slower lanes once completed the overtake!

Speeding fines are just a voluntary tax. It is very easy not to be required to pay it.

A speed limit is just that - a limit. It is not the compulsory speed at which to travel.

If you are adult enough to drive, you have read the Highway Code.

They are electronically limited depending on type, so if they slowed them any further they would stop

Nope.

Driving for 51 years, had two minor speeding tickets on a motorbike back in the early sixties, fined if I remember right £8 and £10 pounds.
no points then and red licences, still got it.

I was teaching class 1 police motorcycle riding until year or two ago.

It is amazing how quickly you have forgotten

If you exceed the speed limit whilst overtaking but return back to the limit after your manoeuvre that's ok......I believe that's the institute if advanced motorists view.

Does the same apply whilst towing a caravan? If you speed op to 65 to pass a truck doing 56mph. It means you pass it quicker.and can pull back in front quicker......or is it better to pass at bang on 60. And take a mile to do it? It's a question I have pondered.

...and rather pointless if the result is to get just a few seconds ahead of the overtaken vehicle.

this is nothing new several police forces have had zero tolerance on speed limits for quite a while,
its just a case of when and where they enforce it

They use unmarked cars in my area...like taking candy off a baby

I sometimes wonder, when I am travelling at 70 mph on motorways and dual carriageways and all the other traffic is zooming past me, whether my speedo is faulty. Very few people seem to obey the speed limits.

Surely the police do not get the money from speeding fines, the money goes straight into a government bank account.

I often wonder why when I am maintaining 50 in roadworks with average speed cameras why so many trucks overtake me and also cars. However if speedos are calibrated to read 10% under, which I recall my scenic did when compared to my sat nav speed, then an indicated 50 is actually 45 and 80 only 72.

On a major roadworks near us, they were catching over 400 drivers a month with the average speed cameras.

As I was told when I learned to drive, assume all other road users are idiots, an assumption that is still clearly valid today.

PS Don't assume the sat nav speed is totally accurate either, especially on hills.
