i do understand where everyone comeing from but ive the guy a chance are u saying that no one else on here goes over the speed limit a little sumties?
if he was doing more than 50 in a 30 now that wud be stupid and dangerous,but if he was in a no speed limit and doing 51 or 52 then give him a chance.
i can mention but a few on here that go a little over the speed limit (not on purpose)and correct it when notice but if pcolvin put a bit more information up about it that wud clarify what had happened..then people wudnt need to speculate..
I ALWAYS HAVE AN OPINION !!!

Bloody hell, if I reported everyone I saw speeding, I'd never be off the phone to the police!

I agree 100% with this. Catch them when they've not long had their license and give them a verbal roasting and it may put them off doing it before it's become an ingrained habit that they do constantly.
Far better a little bit of prevention now, than potentially having to deal with the results of their bad driving when they come a cropper further down the line.
People are saying it's only speeding and it's on the mountain so not as bad etc, but I really doubt someone would be irked enough by the driving to report the lad to the police for only going a couple of MPH over his limit.
I wouldn't report someone who's only doing a touch over the limit, but would definitely report someone who's obviously taking the p1ss or being a menace. I'm sure most people are the same.
If you don't like my comments, don't cause me to write them. How simple is that!

the worse one by far is when you come into a 30mph limit, you slow down to 30mph and some cun* passes you!
That one really winds me up and usually involves flashing of lights, nasty hand gestures and plenty of tailgating by myself.
Don't f*ck with the German Tank!

Why are you bringing yourself down to their level and driving even more dangerously than them . Someone upsets you so you tailgate them. Grow up before you become a statistic

yep thats right.
if you overtake someone in a 30mph zone that is doing 30mph then you deserve to be tailgated, there are speed limits for a reason.
