    So probably 85 ish real speed. As you were overtaking, it's quite
    conceivable that you accelerated from 50-85 to perform the overtake as
    swiftly (and hence safely) as possible, and then slowed back down to 50
    afterwards. I doubt they'll have clocked the speed of the van in the photo.
    Seems like a reasonable enough excuse to escape a ban anyway.

  10. I seem to be one of the few who don't use the word "alot" to mean "many".

    FWIW I overtook a traffic car in a 60 limit once, the driver was doing
    (according to my speedo) spot on 60. I went past, when clear, slowly at
    about 65. Got in front the car and the lights came on. ****.

    Pulled over and the gist of the conversation was that if I was going to
    overtake I should have used much more power and got out of the 'danger
    zone' as quickly as possible. If this meant I had to break the speed
    limit well that would be ok.

    However the driver was a bike cop (it transpired) so I'm not sure if all
    would have this attitude.

    Well, let's hope someone will find a bit of decency and light a little fire
    when he's in :)

    It'll take more than one, so I'm going to bite the bullet on this one
    and say that personally, it's a conformist thing. I'm guilty of the
    "prolly", "ackshirly" and others purely because I've seen them here. In
    a way I think it detracts from the seriousness of a comment. For
    example, if you were replying to something that began with the word
    "ackshurly", it might sound like less of a chastisement or a way to hide
    a holier than thou stance about something than if it began "actually".

    Being the pedantic nature of a few here, you could prattle on all day
    and be on a never ending defence trip.

    That's just my view FWIW.

    Snap. Although I went to a comprehensive, I was always getting bollocked
    by my Dad for dropping my Ts and Hs. "It's *house*" he would say, "not
    'ouse" and "kettle" instead of "ke-awl" sort of thing.
    I wouldn't dream of it :)
