For all the 30mph you are a loon for doing 64mph posters this is a 40mph limit https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.05741,0.018387,3...
I have no idea about the OPs 30mph limit, and certainly I can think of many where 40mph would be highly inappropriate never mind 64mph, but the law has become a bit of an ass with regard to posted limits in the last few years.

But also vice-versa. In my locale, and around Surrey, I can think of quite a few 30mph roads used to be 40mph and faster; at night you could drive safely at 60mph. This of course isn't the same as driving at 64mph through a village. In any case, poor observation of speed limits is no defence.fido said:

Thats what I'm saying. Have a look at my link - I'd guess that road is dead straight 2 miles with no houses and its a 40 mph limit. If there was ever a hidden speed trap down there half the county would be getting the bus.trickywoo said:

Don't see many repeater signs to confirm it is a 40 limit (other than the paint on the road surface)JM said:

Indeed. I've not heard of anyone being done but then why have it? I am a great believer in the the law governing with our consent and some posted limits are increasingly unjustified.JM said:

Speed limits appear very much to be an area that the masses do not appear to buy in to the law. I, like many others, am happy to admit that I frequently, if not usually, break the limits.this isn't true for many other road laws. I can think of many occasions where it would have been safe to go through a red light - pedestrian crossing when you can the person crossed and no one else is in sight , but it wouldn't occur to be to it....
