It could happen on a B road where we should all be going 30mph and there could be plenty of reasons why someone may need to accelerate briefly. As long as they are not doing it dangerously, the driving conditions are good and no-one is at any risk of any harm then I don't see why they should be penalised and the police feel exactly the same way, that's why if you're going about 75+ on a motorway on a clear dry day with nobody else about, in all likelihood they won't batter an eyelid.
