Downhill it would often take significant effort *not* to hit 27-28mph (which is the speed reported above).

Yes, you can do that. And there's a specific law/ procedure on the weight that must be given to the conviction.

I live in the area and have frequented that road many many times.
It is 30 and 40 miles an hour, you don't even have to pedal to hit 40 down several of the hills.
But it has bends and there are double white lines too.
I would suggest that they were going downhill and the car would struggle to overtake them without exceeding the limit.
if I'm hitting the speed limit downhill, I wouldn't dream of being anywhere but in the middle of the lane, being too close to the curb in those sort of situations is not a very good position to be in at all for your safety.

You're making a significant assumption there.
