I'm not saying that serious accidents don't happen, just that if I had to have a crash at 60mph and I had a choice of having said crash in a car built in 1974 and a similar car built in 2004, I know which one I'd choose.

Like most people are saying, speed limits where limits are neccesary, and I think we all tend to stick to them.
However, today whilst in a courtesy car (Honda Jazz) the speedo is not very clear, I was stopped doing 40 in a 30 zone and should have dutyfully received a ticket, however after the Police Man explained the reason for the initiative and everything and quite a log of apologising, strange car etc etc, got let off with a warning.
They are doing their job and if I had received a ticket today then there would have been no bad feeling towards the Police.
My 2p worth, however less than 90 on a dual carriageway / motorway in good conditions, light traffic etc should be dealt with in the same way

Hate to be pedantic, but the A55 North Wales dual carriageway from Bangor heading east definitely has some ( 70 ) signs...
Must admit, it's the only place I'd noticed them.... or do I recall some close to other ports: A14 near Ipswich, dual carriageways/motorways near Dover?

a. not being a motorway
b. having streetlamps on the road
or something odd like that. My old man could prolly explain
