Cardinal sin for police riders (they all do cars as well amongst the blokes I know) is driving whilst texting. Bikers seriously hate this (along with bust drivers side wing mirror) as such drivers do erratic and unobservant things.

That rule depends entirely on your local policing force, it’s 10% across the board but it can be +0, +1, +2, or +3 depending on where you are in the country. Even then, it’s only an allowance to account for inaccurate speedometers, although speedos are much more accurate now. It doesn’t mean you can drive at 36MPH in a 30 zone because it’s 10% +3MPH, and it’s not a hard rule that the police have to follow, just a guideline (So they’re not forced to pull everyone that’s travelling 1MPH over) and it’s their own discretion to pull you over or not.
