37mph on the speedo? You might be okay, otherwise either the speed awareness course or 3 points

Nah I just randomly got a letter through the post from Leicstershire constabulary saying ive been caught doing 37 in a 30. No idea when that happened, I was trying my best to abide to all the limits. Oh well...

doing 40mph in a 30mph is worth the risk imo

My insurance company knows about it but didn't put the price up.

30 would mean its residential or near built up houses....90 in those sorts of areas is just stupid.
