"Most police forces have a tolerance of 10% plus 2 mph above the limit before a speed camera ‘flashes’. So on a 30 mph road, a camera wouldn’t normally activate unless a car drove past at 35 mph or above."
Here's more info.
I find the above statement a bit confusing, if not contradictory. . .
So, if a vehicle travels at exactly 35 mph on a 30 mph road, the camera will be activated according to the above statement. But surely this is still within the 10% plus 2 mph "tolerance", is it not?
Any legal minds out there who might give an opinion? Is this a good ground for a challenge if one does get such a ticket; or a 24 mph ticket on a 20 mph limit?
