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.

FACT NORTH YORKSHIRE POLICE ALLOW 10% + 1MPH

Got anything to back up this fact?  Facts on the internet aren't always as factual as you'd think

If you were doing 78 you'll be ok, 79 you're done?

Myth- 3 of us all got 3 points £60 - 76mph :-(
A64 heading home from Hull

What road were you on? The A64 doesn't go to Hull what was the speed limit? must have been less than 70 mph

FACT- We where on the A64 and all got done for 76mph, if I hadn't just renewed my licence I would have copied and posted.
Route was indirect route home.
FACT.  You can be prosecuted for ANY speed over limit.
I don't know you, however never ever imply I'm lying

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

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.

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).

[richfzs]

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...

Got any proof to back that up?
