Oh right, i didn't know that.

Does anyone know where this road actually is [and not the M54] as i know of a few 30limit roads that aren't built up areas/no schools etc where you can happily go alot faster as you can see ahead and know within reason theres no danger ahead. Motorway roadworks for example, providing theres no workers at the side of the road and no other traffic, then whats the problem of speeding?

I'd be really suprised if the 30 limit he wwas speeding in was a built up area/middle of town or something as it sounds like the kind of headline a paper like the sun would come up with and when you start to look at the facts you realise there isn't actually anything that shocking about it.
