It's still not usually 60mph.

Most single carriageways are 60.

Good grief, he got something right!!!!!!

Then what was the problem in the OP?

The post at the head if the thread (AKA the OP) says that the poster was
doing 37mph in a 30mph limit, and knew that he'd been caught. If he was
doing the speed he claims (Speed limit +10% + 2mph) and he's not been
caught before, most police forces have a policy of offering a speed
awareness course instead of a fine and penalty points. The cost is about
the same, but it doesn't give you a criminal record, which can be an
advantage in some lines of employment. If you earn your living by
driving, on occasion they will offer you another course after the second
time you're caught. After the third one, it's very rare to not get the
points and the fine.

I've never heard of anyone around here (Scotland) getting done for under 40. You just get told off on the spot.

Since that post, you have incorrectly claimed and later withdrawn the
claim that dual carriageways are mostly limited to 60mph.

I misread it. And presumably so did the person who said it after doing he course. Easy enough to get them mixed up in conversation as they both contain the word carriageway.

You have now correctly stated that most single carriageway roads are
limited to 60mph. Congratulations, it's not often you get something right.

I'm always right, it's just that a lot of you don't agree.
