Why not stick to the speed limit then you won't have to slow down for them.

We have some near us on a dual carriageway (speed limit 50 and never seen a crash ) but not on the single carriageway winding road approaching it (speed limit 60 and lots of crashes).

Did you you see the stats in the news last week that over 1 million drivers are on nine points and facing totting up bans if they get flashed again.
I figure its a change in driving culture now and I just stick to the limit all the time.
