He's doing 75mph too.

Indicated; I'm sure he'll have a GPS giving the actual speed.

It’s indicating 75mph which means it’s actually 68/69 mph

I would usually be liking this comment but as I got a speeding ticket on the way back from Wembley ( 46mph in a 40) I say tut tut

Not necessarily. Though speedos do tend to read more than the actual speed, it is allowed for them to be accurate, as I understand they can't show that you're doing less than you're doing, but can show more.
Either way, it's not particularly good optics to put a picture on social media taken with you in the driving seat in the central lane of a dual carriageway with your car being driven at (indicated) an illegal speed. If nothing else, his instrumentation is leading him to believe he is breaking the speed limit, which could be self incriminating. Pretty sure there's historical cases where people have been successfully prosecuted for motoring offences based on what they have put on social media/reddit/youtube etc.
I don't think 75 on a dual carriageway is particularly dangerous, but it is against the law.
Plus as a PL player he is a role model to fans especially younger ones and with his team mate being banned recently for speeding offences the club probably wouldn't be happy with it.

I was always told there is a 10% tolerance for speeding convictions, i.e. police will only convict at >77 mph. in a 70 mph limit

Wish he was this quick at signing a new contract!
Going out on a limb here, maybe his heads been turned as well by the Man City, Kyle Walker replacement links.
Another decision to be made here, if he falls to sign an extension, do we sell or let him run it down and go for a free next year.

Historically he doesn't sign contract extensions and leaves on a free. Gets to choose where he goes and gets a bigger signing bonus because of it.

Bin VAR!
Wrong - tolerances vary by police force. So I was told at my speed awareness course last year! Apparently Cumbria and north wales are not that generous!

It's discretionary. So you could in theory be done for doing 71 in a 70

He did that once and only after we'd already tried to sign him from Torino.

He never looked totally fit when he returned from injury but always gave it his all.
Top man.
Get him signed up big man.

It's down to the individual police forces capt.
These are actually published somewhere, interestingly when I read this about a year ago Nottinghamshire police was one of the very few that declined to publish their tolerances.

I wouldn't say that's historical. He's been released once & Torino didn't offer him a new deal.

They had offered him one much earlier in the season but he didn't sign it. They then refused to sell him to us in January so screwed themselves over somewhat.

Suffolk give 10% tolerance on the speed limit, but as has been said, it's discretionary. Like someone else above, with the 10% in mind, I was done at 46mph in a 40 zone, so I was 2mph above and it was a fine sunny day on a dual carriageway with hardly another car in sight, talk about pissed off.

Yep, hadn't realised how many of his moves were loans and thought he was just doing 1 year contracts.

I empathise VP. Identical to me. I got done at nearly midnight on a Sunday with not a soul in sight. Dual carriageway with no pedestrians etc. No room for common sense unless you believe this is just a way of plugging the deficit in council budgets

I got done doing 33 in a 30 on a f***ing A road... Literally the shittest speeding offence ever (while obviously still dreadfully dangerous your honour!)

Yep a got done for 33mpg as well - this was in West Bridgford coming down the hill past the cemetery on the A60 Loughborough Rd - mobile camera. Changes from 40mph to 30mph on the hill.
Anway, back to Aina. He deseves another contract with us and hope he stays. Would be very hard to get an imrpovement - it really looked like he was still carrying an injury which why the last few games he was not at his best.
