scamera's ???

Chaz, your own link gives the lie to your words. Acpo guidelines say 10%+2,they also make it clear it's down to the officers discretion, which must be done consistently.  If he's decided to nick 4 guys (3? Can't remember, don't care) for the same speed, he's consistent.

Acpo guidelines are guidelines, not law, and don't (I believe) apply to scamera vans. So your "facts" are not facts, they are your opinion, which is worth, frankly, Jack Shit.

let not fall out fellas we have enough problems to contend without bickering with each other on who's right or wrong.

I would have thought you could use many reasons to validly excuse this small lapse of speed such as feeling tailgated and trying to move out of the vehicles way or that a vehicle was doing 65 and you made progress momentarily to overtake.

Pretty sure you'll find that the highway code says you should slow down if being tailgated :P

Sometimes I think the Highway Code is full of shit. Personally what I normally try to do if being tail-gated in traffic is overtake a couple of cars and leave the twat behind. On motorways, I tend to gas it for a bit, then find a gap to pull into until said twat has gone past. Slowing down only makes the problem worse.
Giving such reasons as an excuse for speeding won't wash, I would've thought. If you're caught, you're caught. If you've been able to argue your way out of it once a ticket has been issued, I'd like to know how? (Apart from technical cock-ups on the part of the issuer, that is).

No falling out, just pointing out that his facts aren't facts!

To misquote the old joke, 99% of facts on the Internet are made up on the spot...

70% of all statistics are made up on the spot by 64% of people that produce false statistics 54% of the time they produce them.
