Ive done it since ive been driving, including past coppers and never been pulled for it once. Not a fan of doing it past foreign lorries though.....so i just drop a gear and boot it past them
lol

Yes! Though as said enforcing it is another matter..
P.S I'm another member of the undertakers club. Never wear a seatbelt in the van either, noticed the fine for that has gone up.

Wonder if this will apply to the lorries that sit in the middle lane doing 56 for about 6 years whilst they overtake the lorry in the slow lane doing 55.... that grinds my gears!
RE: About Bloody Time TOO!!!!! - Scott - 06-06-2013
I've actually heard stories about truckers in the States doing that and slowing traffic on purpose when there's a speed trap ahead or traffic further up the road that most drivers wouldn't see. Apparently truck drivers over here must have missed that memo.
RE: About Bloody Time TOO!!!!! - Midnightclub - 06-06-2013
In all fairness, people get done for flashing people to alert them of a camera over here! I don't see why they don't allow them to go over 56 purely for overtaking though.. surely it'd be a lot safer because they'd be spending about 5 years less time overtaking ..
RE: About Bloody Time TOO!!!!! - Scott - 06-06-2013
Plus trucks are a lot safer than they used to be and have much better braking systems. It's crazy in America and Canada when you're driving along at the speed limit and a big rig comes speeding past you.

Just a tad, like that INSANE volvo that can out brake pretty much anything even with a 40 ton load haha.. i want those things!
