Too easy to let your speed drift on motorway journeys. I love my cruise control set it at 60 mph and it keeps your speed safe and legal. For me it's essential on my towcar.

We recently went to France for the first time with a friend and his family. They tow a heavy Hymer with an XC90 and on the way to Dover, where we were due to meet-up, he flew past me (I was 'trundling' along at 60).

On the ferry, he cheerfully told me that he normally tows at 75 because his caravan feels so stable at that speed.

Now, I'm not that bothered about speed limits personally but towing a caravan is just not inherently stable, no matter what you are towing it with and I feel that 60 is a sensible maximum.

The most ironic thing is that, once on site, this same friend insisted on his kids wearing helmets when using their scooters

At least he got something right regarding the kids. Does he hold a B+E licence because if he doesn't and he is caught, he may get a quite a number of points. If he does, he will still get points for speeding and I think the minimum is 6 points as two offences. One for speeding and one for driving in a dangerous and unsafe manner.
