79 in a 70??? Didn't think they bothered with that.

Guess I'm off for reeducation as to how a baby was just about to step out in front of me on the motorway!

Depends on the force and circumstances. Unless there are other factors they almost never pull people for under 85 around me on the duals or motorways but you can't bank on it.

Circumstances: We like money and our xmas fund is low.

Wasn't pulled over. I generally set CC at 76 so not quite sure what happened to be honest.

Oh well. Lecture time.

I mean, if you’re going to knowingly cruise at 6mph above the speed limit you’re asking for it really - it’s called a limit for a reason :cry:
 
I've just got 39 in a 30, and have been offered and accepted a speed awareness course, I'm assuming you've had one recently?
 
Irrespective of whether you agree or disagree with the speed limit laws, they are what they are.


Bluntly, if you don’t like them, don’t drive.


Edit: nevertheless 79 is unlucky, but wouldn’t it read >80 on the speedometer?

Probably indicated around 83-85 so he was well aware of what he was doing :cry:

100% not. I'm lazy af. I set autopilot to 76 and forget about it.

Possible the wife was driving to be fair, we were driving back from edinburgh and switched a few times. She doesn't trust the car to drive itself.

Not sure modern cars vary as much as you think, I've had GPS read within 1mph of the Tesla's reported speed on the motorway.

IIRC from the tyre thread OP has a Model 3 LR unless I'm getting them mixed up with someone else, does it use GPS assisted cruise control in this country? (I'd assume wheel sensors but I'm getting mixed info on Google) because it is possible GPS is a bit dodgy around the northern end of the M5 from what I've seen online in recent months and can't be trusted for accurate speed.

EDIT: Though looking at the ADSB exchange data I'm not seeing anything particularly out and their sampling is usually fairly good.

Better hope the police dont see this thread and add DWDAC also ;)
Fortunately I don't think they can identify me conclusively from the post ;)

Yep, M3 LR. Interesting, that genuinely could be the issue!! Let's believe that. Totes not my fault.

Sure my unrepentant attitude will drive more to tell me how I'm a baby killer.
