Not really, 85 in a 70 is 15mph over the limit - P&F
42 in a 30 is 12mph over the limit - Course.

But 3mph isnt worth haggling over, and then there's the whole "which one is actually more dangerous" argument. (I'd prob go with 42 in a 30 as more dangerous depending on the surroundings ie school, houses, shops etc personally)

I think it just depends on the officer on the day really...

Middle lane drivers are one of my pet hates too...

I feel your pain.

If you're gonna have to pay for the speeding then you may as well at least benifit from getting there earlier and speed properly

doh, seems a little harsh as most people seem to travel at 80 anyhow.

Yeah middle lane drivers are my pet hate too, if they all stated in lane 1 it would be clear for me
