John is spot on here, you have no right to moan, you WERE over the speed limit and that's that.
30mph speed limits are imposed because if a human is hit by a car at 30mph, his/her chance's of survival are around 65%. As soon as you go over 30mph, the chances of survival drop to something hideous like 22% (N)
Another thing aswell, is there any kind of care home/school etc anywhere along this road? This normally drops speed limits down, there is a road locally that has a tiny school at the very end of the road, and the road is about 4 miles long, and it's 30mph for the whole road....
