Speeding again...

Innocent until proven guilty…what happened to the 10% and +2 rule. :unamused: :unamused:

Would that mean 35mph + …or prosecuted at 35mph. :unamused: :unamused:

No such rule, don’t believe everything you hear at the pub or the RDC for that matter.

If found guilty he should also be sacked for perverting the course of justice.

Not just sacked, he should be prosecuted, they must uphold a higher standard for the Police, wishful thinking, I know…

Wouldnt they have to be already prosceuting him in order to find him guilty of such an offence :stuck_out_tongue:

the limit is not a target. It IS the limit. There is no allowance in law to break it.

I see that Jeremy Whine got his collar felt for speeding today. He was cycling in a Royal park with a 5 mph speed limit, but the crazy fool was pushing the performance envelope and got copped for 16 mph!

He was trying to laugh it off but at over 3 times the limit it is equivalent to driving at over 210 mph on a motorway. Why oh why wasn’t he thinking of the children?

Got moaned at twice today once by a car, who then proceeded to brake check me for doing 40 on the A16, then a couple of miles later a ■■■ in a van did the same.

Worse thing was it was thick fogg and 40 was really all I felt comfortable at, not that I’d have gone faster if it’d been clear.

What about castration that would be good what I don’t like is the way they try to wriggle out of it cant seem to take their punishment…

whilst it’s not a rule, it is the ACPO guideline

But i bet he gets away with it!!! :unamused: :unamused:

No it is not, the exact guideline is as follows:

Where an officer decides to issue a summons or a fixed penalty notice in respect of offences committed at speeds lower than those set out in the table, he or she must consider the tolerances of the equipment used to corroborate their opinion. Police speed equipment are tested and approved to work with a maximum tolerance of +/-2mph up to 66mph and 3% for all speeds higher than 66mph, so it is possible to use these tolerances as a prosecution threshold. Moreover, in particular circumstances, driving at speeds lower than the legal limit may result in prosecution for other offences, for example dangerous driving or driving without due care and attention when the speed is inappropriate and inherently unsafe.
