"One driver was caught doing 116mph in a 60mph limit – almost double the speed limit I always wonder why it is necessary to embellish stories like this. Though, given the way journalists (particularly the BBC) love to show off their prowess with a calculator, I am surprised they haven't given it as a percentage. Just be grateful they've kept it in mph. When the BBC reports any measurement of distance, they like to use metric as first choice and imperial measures (the only ones with any official status in the UK) as the dowdy runner-up. I blame those trendy teachers at Holland Park Comp in the 70s and 80s. |
