I've never been caught by a static camera or a speed van in a layby. Once by a body with a laser gun hiding behind a private van in a layby at night. All other times have been SP50s on the motorway by unmarked police following from behind. With the best obs in the world there's not much you can do about that but nowadays I do generally tend to get a bit paranoid if I see another vehicle following me at the same speed without overtaking or falling behind for a set amount of time so whenever that happens I usually pull in a lane and slow down to let the matching speed vehicle pass. I think I've calmed down a lot in the last few years but generally I won't speed 'a bit'. I'll either be in what I like the call 'the prosecution safety zone' (between +0% and +10%) or I'll be going flat out but no more than 50% over the limit or 30mph over the limit whichever is lowest (i.e 29 in a 20, 44 in a 30, 59 in a 40, 74 in a 50, 89 in a 60 or 99 in a 70) but that's on very rare occasions and only if I'm REALLY late for something and it's imperative I make up time.
I just don't see the point in doing 36mph in a 30. You don't actually get anywhere quicker but carries the same risk as doing 44 so what's the point? One could argue it's easy to creep over the speed limit without realising but personally I think that's worse as it proves you're not paying attention to your speed. I've never been able to claim I wasn't aware I was speeding whenever I've been caught ____________________ 2007 Yamaha FZ1 S Fazer

I agree. Generally I ride or drive to what I feel safe for the road type and conditions. Those numbers quoted above are maximums, not targets ____________________ 2007 Yamaha FZ1 S Fazer

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 38 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
