Part of the reason 70mph is mandatory, Bazza, is precisely to give other drivers emerging from junctions time to judge one's approach speed. I would suggest 82mph on a two-lane dual carriageway with side turnings is far more inappropriate than the same speed on a motorway, where sightlines are longer and nobody should be joining from a standing start.
As for not being able to read the speedometer, do I need to reset my irony filter?
