He claims to have been caught within margins that are quite narrow eg '55 or
56' in a 50mph zone, 'just over' a 50mph limit when overtaking a lorry.
None of the cameras around here flash for anything less than 10mph over the
limit, and that includes in 30mph zones.. I don't believe him.

What a drag for them. The guy is disabled as a result of a car crash.
How many more clues does the plonker need?

What are the odds that the lorry in question was doing 50 and he had to
do "just over" 50 to overtake it. 50mph limits usually seem to be in
areas of pretty poor visibility, what the hell was he doing trying to
overtake anyway?

Just this evening I was being reminded of a lucky escape that our family had
when an oncoming lorry came over a blind summit pulled out to overtake a
tractor that it spotted too late and made a head on collision with our car
appear to be inevitable. To this day i do not know how the collision was
avoided as there was very little room for me to pull over to the left. I
think the car must have breathed in :-)

Wagon drivers are normally very good but they do make mistakes
sometimes.......
