According to the policeman who gave a talk at Wirral Advanced Motorists Meeting it's 10% + 1.

According to ACPO Guidelines....

What are the ACPO guidelines for speeding prosecutions?

These guidelines set out the minimum figures at which a Fixed Penalty Notice and a Court Summons would normally be considered appropriate for a speeding offence, if there are no other aggravating circumstances. The minimum figure for a FPN is the posted limit + 10% + 2 mph.


Of course it also explain that an officer is well within his rights to issue a ticket for 31mph in a 30 - depending on circumstances....

And most speedos over-read by at least 1 or 2 mph, so to get caught you've really got to be pushing 35 I would have thought?
