On open country dual carriageways. There is no excuse for me breaking the speed limit, but the cameras are no longer set to "stun". Take my misfortune as a warning)
Sometime in January would be better for me.

Last year, I led a team of 8 bikers down the A5 fromBetws to Cerrig and across to Bala.
That very nice Chief Cunstable you refer to joined us with helicopter cover. Fortunately, I immediately spotted his inability to keep up and kept within two miles ph of the speed limit to enjoy his company.
The Golden Rule for speed control is add 3 mph plus 10%, or get nicked. 10 mph is much to liberal to avoid prizes. If the sign says 30 mph it means 30 mph, any additional leeway, even 1 mph, is at the discretion of that man in blue with bright buttons. If you've got 12 points on your 'temporary permit to drive', stick with the sign.
You may now understand why I wear a helmet all the time.
