I was pulled last week for going around a large, dry, deserted motorway roundabout at a fair pace, although not exceeding the 50 limit. Claimed i was driving dangerously, as i ''clipped the apex''. Did i actually do anything wrong at all? Got off with a condescending mild bollocking by the roadside...i didnt know of differential speed limits on roundabouts!

Ooops, forgot all about this thread! Seems there has been a bit of a crackdown in Bolton and Horwich recently, for two days after getting pulled for the roundabout incident i was pulled again on a 30 limit road, for overtaking a car turning left very slowly. I must have been doing the grand speed of 25 mph at 1 a.m when the police car hidden down the alleyway opposite went a bit mad with the blues....Is it wise to carry photocopies of insurance stuff, so you dont have to go through the producer rigmarole?
