I have been texted a warning and looked it up on line and it looks like the speed cameras go live tonight auto ticket generation system set at 72 mph 6 penalty points, over 90 instant ban + possible custodial sentence.
Whered you looked it up?

I know North Yorkshire police don’t prosecute unless it’s 10% + 1mph over, so don’t see why these would be set to 72?
M25 cameras have been on for a good couple of years. I worked for the firm that maintain the route and one of the supervisors advised us when they came live. Good while ago now though.

Don’t know why this is in a RR forum, it would be go to share, but at least there’s only two cameras on the M25 in Kent, at the moment.

Bedfordshire old bill wanted to set theirs at 70 a few years ago but they were over ruled by the cps and its far to close to the calibration of the kit and possibly some speedos
Your quite safe at sub 80 on the M1 cameras it appears.
94 mph is the ban poimt

I'd also like to see the source of this info, the soft southern counties are generally 10% + 2 mph before fines start.
I trust in Sygic (Android, but Apple too) to keep me informed about the camera locations, but knowing for certain which are average speed is a bit tricky.
Not that I ever break the limits...

Not law, the old 10% +2 is a guideline and discretionary only
this is the most trustworthy source I can find....

1) hadec3 cameras do not flash.
2) there are a lot of them
3) they do not have to give any allowance
if you dont speed then it wont matter

& suggest that you could always stick to the limit. That way, fake news or reality, problem solved.

Sigh........drives me mad when people speculate and believe the utter rubbish others say based on nothing more than their own or others obtuse opinion.
If you want to know the definitive position......
Look up the Sentencing Guidelines for summery only offences.
https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-court/item/speeding-revised-2017/
A fixed penalty notice is a NOT a conviction, it is an offer to discharge your liability from prosecution by paying a fixed penalty. You have the choice to go to court and be prosecuted OR pay the fixed penalty.
On a UK motor way the limit is 70 (for car PLG) if your recorded speed is under 90 you will not be disqualified.
If your defender is classed as an LGV this would be an aggravating factor, although in itself not enough to elevate the starting point to the next band.
PS the Police have nothing whatsoever to do with setting the camera trigger limits, this is done by the local Safer Camera Partnership, it is 2MPH above the limit as a minimum.
Calibration arguments will not work as each camera self calibrates and provides secondary report for each offence, this calibration is then verified by a site visit at set frequencies, whereupon a sec 9 standard statement to that effect is provided.

Here i n France they have cut the speed limit from 90kmh down to 80kmh on all single cariageways but a lot of the speed cameras have been vandalised only 60% working in France at the moment I pass 3 every day and 2 have been burnt out and the third has had paint sprayed over camera part
