It's leeway the police give due to differences in speedo accuracy, its one of them- if you take it to court you'd get away with it, but they depend on people putting their hands up and saying fair cop Guv! (And why wouldn't you, who wants to go to court?)
Met bike safe ride to this as do ride safe courses, but to be completely honest I stick to 30's and 40's quite rigidly due to pedestrians cyclists etc, 50’s plus I go by vision and conditions, rarely will I excess 90, there's just no point. My standard on the motorway is 80-85
(I say rarely, we all have our adolescent moments)
Under no circumstances am I saying this to get people going on the whole holier than though well if you speed here why not there etc etc, that's just how I feel comfortable!
