co-incidence?

I don't believe in coincidence but as I am trying to get an appointment to discuss an important matter with the Chief of Police and not taking any excuses in the process, in the post today is a speeding ticket!

I've looked at the evidence photos and I am following two cars, with a reasonable distance between me and the one in front. I'll never know, but I wonder if the others will get tickets because they must have been doing the same or more speed than me, which was clocked at 36 in 30?

OK, fair cop you might be saying. I agree, but the photo was from the rear and at a wierd angle meaning the operator was hiding - I did not see anyone or any vehicle. The position was also just inside a 30 marker, a hundred or so feet.

Reading the blurb, it says 73% of drivers going through that spot were over the limit. That says to me the area needs looking at, because quite often an area has a limit when to be honest it really didn't need it to be so low. Sometimes a road speed limit has been 60, and is reduced to 40 say, but there is no obvious change or reason to warrant the limit.

Yes, I know the stats; 80% survive at 30, compared to 10% at 40....

I dont agree with breaking limits and this occasion was a rareity. Having subsequently checked my speedo there is not much leeway on the instrument between 30 and 40, and it would be easy to go over the limit unintentionally as I did.
