Yeahbut, I've always knocked it off generally in 40s and 30s, previously.
The trouble is, these creeping bloody speed restrictions are making a
mockery of the concept of appropriate limits and policing by consent.
Increasingly these days, I just ignore speed limits (most seem entirely
arbitrary), keeping my eyes open for cameras, suspiciously parked
vans and the odd rare jam jar.
Fuck 'em.
