going too slow?

[Jeremy Kyle]

Whenever i see a scamera van i always drop my speed to 26-28mph as i dont trust accuracy of either my speedo or the scamera vans equipment. Could i ever be done for going too slow?

In theory yes, I think it is S3 of the RTA but Von will be along soon to clarify - i.e. you are impeding other traffic.

However, in todays climate, I doubt it very much, more likely to get a medal.

We have lots of speed cameras around here and I find that most people think they have to be going way below the speed limit 'just to be sure' . So its not unusual to be in a queue going past a camera at ~15mph (indicated so probably 12ish real). I go past at a GPS 30 ish every time when not in a queue, I just know the car behind me that slows down to 15 is muttering 'nutter' under his breath as I zoom along at such excessive speed. Of course they soon catch me up when I continue to do 30 and they speed back up to 40+....

Think VH is on RD or AL today so....

S 3 Road Traffic Act 1988

Careless, and inconsiderate, driving:

If a person drives a motor vehicle on a road without due care and attention, OR

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road, he is guilty of an offence.

Doubt they would get it home under circs described.

Why do you do that? why not go by at an indicated 30-32? The chances of getting done at that speed at extremely low.
