yes but you were speeding ...so why do you feel the police are being sneaky , when you were actually speeding? ....miffed at getting caught ?....... We all speed...just some get caught , while others dont.So whats special about them ?
Personally I think there is a big luck factor , and choosing where and when you do speed is very important .I aint being smug when I say , I do the latter...and ( touch wood) aint had a speeding ticket for over 10 yrs. But nobody would call my riding slow ! I still feel if as a rider you have done further training like the IAM it does just give that bit extra restraint , that little bit of caution , which maybe just means you dont pile it on or speed indiscrimately.I think you can spot roads where its more likely to be policed, and roads which are not ...plus the essential forward obs, the restraint , it really can just make the diffrence.On fast roads / motorways I like to not be the fastest vehicle, just overtake perceptibly , try not to stand out , by actions and road positioning.Covert riding wherever possible !
