...To not understand the new speeding fine rules?

[DalekBred]

so. a 30 speed limit. should be doing that and not a notch more, no?

But the news said that if a dirvers caught doing over 50 in a 30 zone THEN they'll be fined.

How does that make sense/? Its anything over 30? Isnt it? so does that mean people can do 45/48/49 and be okay in a 30 zone?

That's what seems to come across.

Also, in a 40 zone dual carriageway, if someone is overtaking on the outside lane that mean they can carry on doing well over 40 in a 40 zone?

(Havent been driving long, I stick to the limits, and Im confuaed by all this).

Do you still get the 10% allowance i.e 33 mph is ok in a 30mph zone, 55mph in 50mph zone?

mrsrisotto cruise control is your friend on this one. I set mine on the motorway so that i don't go above the limit.

Yeah i'd certainly use cruise control if my car had it

msrisotto No, the Speed Awareness Courses will still be used (as now) for the lowest tier of speeding - fines will only be the first resort if you're going so fast that you fall into the higher tiers (as harderandharder2breathe has said).

Thanks to my friendly PCSO for explaining that to me....
