I got a warning. What a pratt. He wasn't even 6 foot, the jumped up little berk. I think he was trying to impress his boss (who turned away when he heard what speed I was doing).

ACPO guidelines are speed limit plus 10% plus 2mph, from memory.
Which means that, in a 30 zone, they'll usually let it go unless you're doing 35mph+
Too much time on his hands, by the sounds of things!
