That's a serious point - use brisk acceleration to reach higher limits and buy yourself some space to use later.

Good old Edmund King from the AA...normally speaks quite a bit of sense but...
"Driving at 40mph in a 30mph area is incredibly dangerous."
I can think of places where it's safe to do 40 or more...he's reinforcing the idea with this statement that if you stick to a posted limit you will be safe. Thankfully he then contradicts this by advocating variable limits.

On test, with a serving police traffic officer, I missed a 40 speed limit sign and thought I was still in an NSL. The discs were completed covered by foliage so it was impossible for them to be seen. I continued to drive, let's say, with enthusiasm (foot to the floor) but varying speed smoothly but rapidly between 25mph and 60mph. The examiner's comment was that there was no way I could have known about the speed restriction but he was impressed with the pace of the drive which was, in his opinion, at all times completely safe.

Surly if this was over any distance there would have been either repeaters or other indications of the lower limit
