If you were going to, hypothetically speaking, speed. It would be a good idea to keep this in mind. Note, these are just guidelines and are not written in stone:
ACPO speed enforcement guidelines

Personally I adapt my speed in accordance with whatever risk factors are prevalent at the time.
“Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men”
Though in qualification, it should be mentioned that the person to whom the above quote is generally attributed to, did in fact lose both his legs whilst blatantly ignoring the rules… :pinch:
“Personally I adapt my speed in accordance with whatever risk factors are prevalent at the time”
Agreed. Such as rapidly closing in on a distant car in front, which turns out to be a police car doing 70ish on an empty motorway :Whistling:
That said, Im always over cautious in built up villages, near schools etc. Sometimes 20 is better than the legal limit of 30.
