    The Highway Code actually says in point 139. Overtake only when it is safe to do so. You should ....

    So you could argue that it is safer to exceed the speed limit whilst overtaking so that the manouver is completed in the shortest safe time period possible, as long as you reduce your speed back to the limit after the overtake, which you did.

    No, you can't argue...... Speed KILLS!!!! every single time!!!!
    Even if it doesn't cause an accident, god still kills a kitten every time you exceed the speed limit!!

    Feel free to drive like an a55, cut people up, ram into cyclists, screech around corners, do handbrake turns, drive at 30mph the wrong way down a motorway, etc etc etc
    As long you do not break the speed limit, nothing can possibly happen......

    Yes I think I can argue ... there, I just did ;)

    Don't be so melodramatic, speed on it's own does not kill.

    Where has anyone said that anyone was driving like an a55 etc.... ???????

    What God and kittens have to do with it I fail to understand :rotfl::rotfl:
    Your post makes little sense in my humble opinion :)

    i thought they could factor in lost postage days , so they could send it within 14 days but you could not contest if you got it say after Xmas cause there was no post .

    I could be wrong about that , if so i stand corrected .

    No, you are wrong. It must be served within 14 days of the alleged offence. If posted in time and by the correct method, it is deemed to have been properly served. However, this is rebuttable, if it arrives out of time or not at all.

    Yes, see government statistics and Police reports..... All 100% truth, just like global warming! oh wait... It's not global warming, we had to change it to "climate change" because of the cold winter.

    Speed kills, only speed kills! nothing else causes accidents!
    OAP drives 30mph the wrong way down the motorway, has a head on collision which causes a 50 car pileup, BECAUSE the other car was doing 73mph!!!!!!

    Something has to die if you break the speed limit, it's common sense because SPEED KILLS! it's the law!!



    Seriously.... Are you guys German? have you never heard of sarcasm? :p

    Ah... sarcasm... far too deep for my German understanding, verstehe nicht sarkasmus :D
    Difficult to hear the sarcastic tone from a forum post tho ;)

    You got any stats to show stationary vehicles kill?

    Most if not all fatal collisions involve a moving vehiclce therefore 'speed kills'.;)
