I do, yes. The fact that the sign was temporary doesn't mean it doesn't
apply FROM THE POINT YOU PASS IT UNTIL THE POINT YOU PASS ANOTHER LIMIT
SIGN.

And, of course, if he was doing 78 mph he would *not* have been doing just
'8 mph over the limit' - because temporary speed limits on motorways are not
set at 70 mph...

If they moved all the plods to the murder squad, would that help or
hinder burglary clear-up rates...?

Once again...

Speeding is against criminal law. That's why the police enforce it.

It is a criminal conviction, if prosecuted in a criminal court, but not
if dealt with by FPN.

However, it never results in a criminal record, because it isn't a
recordable offence.

So you keep saying. Doesn't make it true.

It seems you need the dots joining for you.
Enforcing *some* traffic law is an important part of policing. Enforcing
*some* traffic laws is nit-picking for its own sake.

Followed by a link to an example of a pointless and ridiculous enforcement,

Then what do you suppose the link was there for?
