Temporary advisory speed
Discussion
M58 yesterday. Had the 50mpg advisory sign up. Orange flashing at side of road, not in a red circle.
I was doing 60 along the entire road.
Saw a police car with lights on on hard shoulder.
It was clear, little traffic
I was doing 60. Tbh didn t even think to slow further, but I do change to middle lane.
Saw the officer at the back of his car raise up a speed gun, then saw a car had come off on to the embankment.
Not sure if he was gunning before I saw him get back into position.
I guess I could get done for due care and attention.
I m hoping he was looking for people doing 70+ in a 50mph advisory.
The road was clear, no traffic build up, no brake lights ahead. I was already doing 60 on a stretch that is NSL.
14 days of waiting for a due care NIP..

What makes you think "without due care" would be the alleged charge if you were doing 60 in a temporary 50?I was doing 60 along the entire road.

Not a lot of people know the difference between an advisory with flashing orange and a mandatory with the red circle.
Yesterday it was most likely for lorries due to high winds.
Forget about it.
You were doing 60mph in a 70mph limit. Unless there was extreme weather or you were driving a high sided vehicle there’s no due care to consider.
FYI if you use the lane keeping assist adaptive cruise control it takes away most of any wind gusts when it’s a bit blowy.

The advisory speed sign are not legally enforceable, so I guess you are ok.
A note if the police had pulled you over they would tried to trap with an opening question like "do you know why I pulled you over?". Should you said something like "I was not aware of my speed" or "Sorry I did not see the sign" then you are opening yourself up to driving without due care otherwise all good. The best answer that I can think of is "I was expecting you to tell me your reason?".
