People who do 33 in a 30 should be hung! 
Seconds out, round 1!

Ah, my neck is safe at 47 then  lol
Disagree with anyone who speeds in restricted zones - 30 in a 30, 50 in a 50  BUt as far as im concerned, the little white one with a black line through it means "Strike the warp core, No 1....ENGAGE" 
Drive at a speed sutiable for the road conditions

A new survey in The Times ( yeah, another one  ) informs us that excess speed is a factor in only 3 % of motor accidents, which is a percentage so low that one suspects they've forgotten the zero.
But then, The Daily Mail will tell us tomorrow that speed causes 90% of motor accidents, and 90% of those are caused by illegal Albanian immigrants !

I'd agree with that - the vast majority of accidents happen at 10mph or less (parking, roundabouts, pulling out of side roads, etc)
Perhaps we should add mandatory training in perception and anticipation every 3 years ?

If you do 33 in a 30 in a Scorp, then you are only actually doing 30mph anyway....so who's breaking the law here ........

Sounds like ford designed it that way

So therefore 35 in a 30 before they prosecute?
So our Scorpio speedos would be showing nearly 40 by this stage
