If they drive at 70mph they create a mini traffic jam because nobody will pass them. So there's no chance they will catch an inattentive speeder. Better to drive at 60mph in front of a van or truck and see what comes past.
A few years back I might have been doing a little more than 70 mph in my car. I slowed when I saw a 'battenberg' in lane one and went past at 71 mph. Fortunately, I was feeling cautious so I stuck to 70mph for a mile or two. Two minutes later the police car came along lane three at somewhat more than 70 mph and pulled in behind me in lane two. He had seen how fast I approached from behind and was expecting to pull me a few miles down the road.
Sometimes there's no substitute for being lucky.
