I had a look at the paper counterpart of my licence and just realised i've got a clean licence again
I know its of no significance to any of you and you probably don't care, but i'm happy

You are supposed to be allowed 10% + 1mph over the speed limit are you not? So 34 is ok?
On the 25th I'll have been driving for 2 years so will have 12 points leeway instead of 6! So no worrying about being banned then sitting test again. Not that i have points anyway

you're not allowed anything, its at officers discression, a lot do use that guide, but its not an allowance and you can be done for 31 in a 30 if they so wish

You can also get done for going too slow.

Speed camera's go off at 10% over the speed limit shell e.g dual carriageway camera's go off at 77mph.
But if a police officer catches you over the limit then your over the limit
