It's funny how speed limits all feel like personal insults.

Im sure a read a post here about someone following an unmarked while on a training mission at above the speed limit.
If i recall right i think the argument against doing so was the fact that the plod are highly trained and members of the public are not hence they can drive faster than us.

I remember my dad getting stopped by a young, inexperienced copper (both in cars) about 3/4 of a mile past a "50" sign, after a "40" area...

Young cop swaggers up and says: "Do you know why I've stopped you, sir?"

Dad: "No."

Cop: "Do you know how fast you were travelling, sir?"

Dad: "Yes, 50."

Cop: "And do you know the speed limit, sir?"

Dad: "Yes, 50."

The other cop in the car arrives and says: "Now apologise to the gentleman and tell him he can be on his way."

As they walk back to their car my dad overhears 2nd cop saying: "Now, why do you think the general public think we're a bunch of arrogant c***s? Try to look out for speed signs and NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!".
