Indeed, me and my friend tested his car recently and used satnav because his speedo got very inaccurate above 100mph:
Ha ha, take your Sat Nav on a plane and see your car doing 500mph. Unfortunately you have to be quick at taking a photo as the "car" jumps from road to road.
caught over 77 mph in a 70 you won't get offered the course - the rules are standardised now across the UK
I enjoyed the course - not boring at all

I was doing 79 and I think the speed limit is 70 (was actually hoping it was 75).
(was actually hoping it was 75).
The limit has always been what is on the signpost.
The ACPO guidelines (and they are just that - guidelines, which dont have to be adhered to, especially if its a famous politician) have always stated that enforcement should start at 10 % + 2mph, thus allowing you a leeway of 10 % + 1mph.
the +3 is just people getting mixed up and passing it on the others wrongly etc..

Coming soon, to a courtroom near you...
Barrister: And you were driving how fast?
Nocturne_sa: 79mph.
Barrister: And you believed the speed limit was what?
Nocturne_sa: 75mph.
Barrister: The prosecution rests, your honour.
The only thing on the speeding course I didn't agree with was the fact that, on a motorway, where 95% of traffic is travelling at around 90mph - the safest place to be is in the fast lane doing 90mph
90% of fatal motorway accidents happen in the slow lane
a) slip roads cause traffic to enter and cross the slow lane
b) trucks in the slow lane
c) hard shoulder right next to slow lane
d) most road damage in slow lane
driving at 70mph in the slow lane in the UK is legal, suicidal and stupid
They told me the 10% thing was pure fiction

You know your post tells a lot about your driving.
There is no "fast" or "slow" lane on a motorway.
There is Lane 1 and then there is an overtaking lane - the clue is in the name.
And then he finds out the limit. 70. Precisely the speed everybody was not doing lol.
