No, I'm the /one/ driver who never speeds, he's the /other/ one.

So you have never *ever* drifted even .001 mph over the posted limit?


Many times. In the past I've deliberately driven at speeds up to an
indicated 140mph, but these days I make a habit of keeping within the
posted limit.


You just selectively ignore other parts of the Highway Code that you
disagree with, as you have admitted here before.

people


But as we know Rules 45-66 are more honoured in the breach than the
observance.

And unless you make a point of never even approaching the posted limit,
you're bound to drift over it by one or two mph on your speedo from time to
time.
