Firstly, if you are driving below 70mph, how have you formed the impression that lorries travel above 70mph?
Secondly, lorries in the UK are required to be limited to 56mph. That's a lot less than 70mph and it's quite difficult to mistake 56mph for >70mph.
The above is why some doubt has been expressed about the accuracy of your speedo.
Well, whatever is right or wrong, many lorries drive badly on motorways whatever their speed is limited at.
Along with the high performance BMWs and the like.
If I can avoid motorways I do.
Call me an old duffer if you like, but the standard of driving has deteriorated markedly over the years.
If I am sticking to a speed limit, why do many cars drive up close behind me and flash their
headlights.
To slow down ?
No, to go faster.
