A boat going 60 in the broads would not even get a yawn from them.Thank goodness they are a good bunch with common sense.

Now, speaking from experience. A 100mph speeding ticket in a 65 zone in a car adds 4 points to your drivers license. A 26mph over adds 3 and a seat belt violation adds 2. Put these three violations together in one calendar year and you have exceeded the number of points one can accrue in that calendar year, you lose your license for about 6 months, give or take on top of the individual violation suspensions.
And for anyone wondering, yes it was me and that was over 10 years ago without a ticket since. Total violation fines were over 1K with a 1 year probation period on my license, that ANY moving violation would kick in another 6 month loss of license that was suspended for good behavior.
It adds up quicker than you think.
