Ok so you think it's suitable to do 70 in a 30 zone

I obviously don't, and I doubt I'll ever agree that it's a suitable & safe speed to do in such a zone other than a national speed limit zone, maybe that's to do with a old friend who was knocked down as a child, maybe it's just me been a parent.

So I agree we never see eye to eye on this so we might as well move on

There are some pretty pointless speed restrictions, 20 odd years ago I got done for doing 60 in a forty, just outside prestwick airport the duel carriageway goes from 70 to 40 for about half a mile, the general practice is to take foot off gas and coast to the roundabout( no built up area, just the parimeter fence on one side and a railway line on the other), cops were hidden behind a hoarding and caught me. It might have just been the surprise that a 2cv could go that fast! I would never do that speed in a built up area, but that time still annoys me every time I go past!

Whats more embarrassing is admitting that you had a 2CV and to get caught speeding in it aswel personally i would of kept this one to yourself
