My thoughts "Why the fk is the car with the camera only doing 65 MPH?"
When I saw the speed my somewhat cynical view was that the camera car may have been tanking along at NSL or above for a while, saw the rapidly approaching Merc and knowing he would incriminate him on camera, slowed down to legal speed for the duration of the video that he showed to the police.

I may be wrong.

The kind of individual who'll call 999 because they spot someone speeding is unlikely to be able to maintain the NSL let alone exceed it tbh.

That channel's most recent upload is a "how to" video about shuffleboard (seriously).

It all fits nicely with the image of the brownly cardiganned old man that popped into my head when I saw the Merc video and read that 999 was called.

I'm presuming the Merc driver was eastbound so 120mph away from Thetford is perfectly acceptablebiggrin
The one good thing about Thetford are the roads out of it.

Nothing to see here. It was obviously a driver with an exemption.

My thoughts "Why the fk is the car with the camera only doing 65 MPH?" My old driving instructor would have a go about NOT keeping up with the traffic.

To be fair, if the Merc went past my wife at that sort of speed, she would offer an opinion about how many puppies, nuns and kittens were likely to die as a result. Believes that we are all going to die if we travel 1 mph over the arbitrarily set limit.
Bugger!

Have the powers that be introduced a minimum speed limit now?
