Stick your cruise control on a sat nav indicated 70mph , sit back and relax. Or is an MGEV not relaxing at motorway speeds?Seen a few comments on here around will I get fined for 80mph on motorway.

The guideline is a fixed penalty (or speed awareness course) from 79 mph, so unfortunately you should expect a ticket if caught on camera at 80...
I was caught at 67 in a 60 on a gantry camera ( I didn’t realise it was reduced from 70). To this day I swear there were no speed reduction signs, I was actually quite miffed.From confused.com:
'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. On a 70 mph stretch of motorway, this threshold would go up to 79 mph.'
I was caught doing 73mph on the M62 smart motorway near Leeds and had to do the awareness course ,so be careful no such thing as 10% anymore, it's quite a good course tbh
No way that’s ridiculous! Sorry to hearI was cought by the smart motorway camera not a police officer got the letter through the door 4 days later
We were passed by three cars racing each other doing well over 100mph on that section last Sunday... The road was busy too. Just crazy.I was caught doing 73mph on the M62 smart motorway near Leeds and had to do the awareness course ,so be careful no such thing as 10% anymore, it's quite a good course tbh
Hopefully they also received letters in the post.We were passed by three cars racing each other doing well over 100mph on that section last Sunday... The road was busy too. Just crazy.
Ditto!a pet hate is all the left over signage months after the reason for it to be there has ended,
Do by any chance still have the NIP that you could post up? With personal detail blanked out, obviously.I was caught doing 73mph on the M62 smart motorway near Leeds and had to do the awareness course ,so be careful no such thing as 10% anymore, it's quite a good course tbh
To be honest, I hope their cars (C63, M3 and Golf R) were confiscated and put in the crusher, though of course that won’t happen.Hopefully they also received letters in the post.
My ex wife was fined in Brighton for going through one of the fixed cameras on the front at 31mph. I saw the nip myself.I've yet to see any evidence......that's evidence....of anyone ever having received a ticket or course for exceeding a limit by 3mph, and that includes 30 limits. I've offered to pay tickets for people making such claims, I've never been taken up on my kind offer! So-called Community Speedwatch letters don't count.
