Quite, and I certainly know where my money would go if I had to bet on whether or not the NIP was subject to valid service.
I hope it is one of those then. The concept of getting grief for doing 68 on a motorway is almost comical.

The limits exist for many reasons.
Wherever they exist we aren't supposed to be exceeding them, hence the legislation & sanctions for doing so.
You didn't answer either of my questions, possibly because you can see where they lead.
I did.
You asked what is 'the' reason the limit shouldn't be exceeded. The answer is there isn't one ('the') reason. That's why I said they exist for many reasons & the reasons they exist is why.
The limits apply for both motorways & urban roads (& country roads too), again for more than one reason.
The residents of the Isle of man seem to be able to cope with areas of A road (at best|) without a random number on a stick.

If they are happy for that compromise that's fine for them, it's their prerogative. I wouldn't expect them to be constrained to our laws or us to theirs.
Also there are far more countries that have limits than don't.

Have you seen the repeated questions about your V5C?

Out of interest, what do you think? Are we better off with or without them? If you'd prefer without, would you do anything else (maybe a higher level of driver training)?

And who's name is the V5 in? biggrin

Looks like for whatever reason the doesn't want to tell us about the v5.

All a bit pointless without that information imo.
