No, I think you’ll find it’s speeding.

Thought you could get away with 70 + 10% as an unwritten rule ?

The m6 has roadworks and is restricted to 50mph in the Coventry area, if they clocked you doing 76 in that area then you have no one to blame except yourself

That's discretionary and varies by constabulary.

You were. the flashing lights are there to get attract your attention. When there is a speed limit inside the red lit circle, its mandatory.

Even if there's no speed limits showing. Those cameras are still active and can catch you breaking national sped limits.

No sympathy if you saw the reduced limit and ignored you have only yourself to blame.

That's why I like the speed limiter on our car on a motorway set it to 70 and I know it will not let me go over, I still have full control below 70 unlike the cruse control

Yup, 70 + 10% =77, + 2mph = 79mph before a ticket is given, but upto the chief constable's discretion

Depends where you are in the country, it was all over the news in November that some forces were being strict with the advertised limits and there’d be no leeway.

Can’t remember which ones, but I remember the story. Guess it was true.

The emergency services, and a few other services, have a legal exemption to break certain road traffic laws including the speed limits, but only if they can prove they have a legitimate cause and do not drive dangerously. They're supposed to always use at least blue or red lights - not always sirens, but that wasn't part of the original legislation, so they're not legally obliged to do so. The scenario you describe in your post is often used as a speed trap.

So you think if you do 77 in a motorway you won't get a ticket go try it good luck

Was that from a camera or a traffic officer?

perhaps your speedo was under reading?... or was there another factor besides excess speed eg. lane discipline or vehicle spacing?

Were you nicked in a restricted average speed zone roadworks or where overhead gantry signs were active?

Tell him you think he's a wanker. Just a personal opinion not actually calling him a wanker. Before anyone says yes I've tried it...

Read the thread, stated earlier that he was driving in a Smart controlled section of M'way where variable speed limits are in force.

Plain and simple, our OP is bang to rights done. 76 in what was probably either a 60/50/40 controlled part of road. No excuses, no get outs, take his medicine when it arrives by post.
