(I'd prob go with 42 in a 30 as more dangerous depending on the surroundings ie school, houses, shops etc personally)
85 in a 70 is about 20% percent over the speed limit, 42 in a 30 zone is 40% over the speed limit, so I would say it is speeding more.

And defo agree that it's more dangerous as well, but suppose that all ultimately depends on the circumstances of the road, etc.

You are a very naughty boy. The story that the orgs own captain slow been nicked for speeding has even reached me in Marrakesh.
There is no logic i got a fine and points for 35 in a 30.
Come out here and see how to really drive badly

That better for you now??

One thing you'll never be able to accuse me of is lane hogging
