When I keep a steady 50 through them I seem to be the slowest thing out there and yes, tailgating happens a lot. (Why?) Went in a friend's car last week, he has been commuting along that stretch of road for months. He set his cruise control to 56mph, said he has been doing it like that twice every day and hasn't had a ticket yet....
Allowing for the 10%+2mph on a dead accurate speedo, he will be 1mph under the threshold. Allowing for maximum speedo inaacuracy, he could be ready 55 before he actually hits a real 50mph anyway..
I try to use my SatNav speedo in the variable limits in the car/van. Set the cruise to a real 52mph and am generally one of the faster vehicles there.
