Lets not get confused here , nobody can say they never go over 30 in a built up area but if a driver has multiple convictions in urban areas that says to me they're always driving at 35-40
I'd say 90% of my 30 is 30 as I make a conscious effort to do it , I do however find driving at 20 almost impossible
When I see drivers coming past me at 40 it's either 17-25 who think they're in a hurry or pensioners who drove at that speed in the 70s and 80s
In the 80s I had a mate who was annoyed because he'd been caught doing 41, 40 and they wouldn't have stopped him.
Interesting views there Wack. On the one hand you pigeon-hole and criticise drivers on account of their age (do you stop them and ask for proof of age perchance?), whilst in post 53 you advocate Waze which seemingly helps you avoid speeding tickets. Surely, if you were better than the foolhardy youngsters and pensioners you criticise you wouldn't need Waze.
I might assume that as a cautious driver you've never exceeded the speed limit in your Maserati, but as a pensioner I've learned not to make stupid and arrogant assumptions about people I don't know.

The other was the instructor insisting that I had to slow down only with braking and changing straight into a low gear - not using engine breaking. Pity I didn't have a sequential box and paddles in my Insignia cos I would have been asking pointed questions of this IAM instructor
