Loads of people. I have been done by average twice in my life. My boss got done twice in the same day, once on the way down and once on the way back up

My course 3 weeks back was due to the average cameras around Stoke. To be fair I was trying to get out of Stoke as quick as possible so thought they might allow that for mitigation

(joke Stokey's don't burn me)

A500? Locals seem to know exactly where the cameras are and religiously stick to 70mph+ until literally the last second.

I know where they are too, no excuse really as 'life on my shoulders' moment caused me to brain fart and sit at 60mph not 50mph.

The most fun on the road is something just a bit fast, or just slow. Then drive it as quick as you like

It is why things like the MX5 are so much fun. Get a good Mk1 with 115bhp and forget all the modern cars you may be used to and it can be as good as it gets. Steering, brakes, gearbox, balance all from the stop draw (steering needs right set up). The problem is we are all use to 200bhp+ pocket rockets so the MX5 feels slow but get past that, great.

Elise is a cracking car no question, but getting in and out of an MX5 is easier

Well except my racer with a full cage which is a challenge.

LOL, I once had a Porsche go past me there at the highest speed I have ever seen. 170+ mph, it was insane. Hate that road as the noise from the tyres is insane, it also makes the car bob up and down at points.

Wasn’t silver one on a Sunday around 5am in 2008ish was it? If it was it was nearer 200mph I believe I ‘heard’

They would find them easily enough. People who film it like that will leave themselves open to being found. CCTV everywhere these days, copper, cup of coffee and access to the CCTV network would probably be able to track them back to where they came from or went to.

On the phone point, I have noticed over the last 3 or 4 years so much looking down as they drive driving, not least the young as they check social media.
