Indicated 78 is as Neil said probably about 71-2 so you will be fine. Don't worry about it.

Sat Nav are ace at telling you how far out your speedo really is. Mines a bit weird as its not linear. As Kipax, I spend so much time on motorways you get used to them. I regularly go past plod at indicated 80 and they never bother as longas you show you are showing attention to whats around you and are sensible/correct in your driving (moving over when you should, correct indications etc).

The thing that a lot of the 'anti speed' people don't understand is that people have totally different feeloings of speed. At 80 I feel like I'm doing 30, to someone who only potters round town, 50 may feel fast. My brain has become accustomed to that speed and can interpret whats happening around me quite easily. Its what its used to. To M Schumacher, 80 probably feels like walking pace as his brain is used to 150+.

I blame the wind !!!!! The wind that comes from the atmosphere that is and not the mushy pea type of wind :D
It blew me down the motorway.

Chav .... first post about cameras i think, lol.

In an ideal world the motorway should be 70mph = 1st lane, 80mph = 2nd lane and 3rd lane should be kamikaze :D :D :D

Re: Speed Cameras On M65 Today.
 

I see enough kamikaze in the 3rd lane thanks!!!!!!

Did you know they sold more BMW 3 series than ford mondeo last year.........

Re: Speed Cameras On M65 Today.
 

The car may be fine doing 80 mph, it is just a pity that the human body cant react at the same speed!

Re: Speed Cameras On M65 Today.
 

germany has the right idea with the autobahn or however its spelt

anything goes with speed but they come down on you like a ton of bricks if your naughty on normal roads

the police here should not be victimising drivers on the safest roads going ( the motorways) but should instead be focusing their efforts on teh streets where all teh real idiots are getting away with almost any traffic infringment known

3 times today i have had taxis shoot across infront of me after clearly going through on red lights as my lights were on green and theres even a pause between traffic light changes and that was long gone after these idiots went through
