That means doing a reasonable percentage of the speed limit where road/vehicle/conditions permit. You would certainly fail a driving test for not doing 30 where it was safe to do so , such as on a main road rather than a quiet residential street. I'd bet on 55 in a 60 being seen as acceptable -- Alex "I laugh in the face of danger , then I hide until it goes away" www.drzoidberg.co.uk |
