10%+2 is nonsense. People are getting pulled for 31mph in a 30.
Just stick to signposted speeds and keep eyes open, maybe...
Speeding on the M25, the most ruthless camera based motorway, your fault |

Just try to stick to the speed limits. If variable speed limits are active on the M25, the cameras are also active. If I recall correctly, if the signs aren't active, the cameras aren't active. I've heard this is due to change soon but have not heard yet if there is a timescale for this change.
If you're going to speed, then back roads are the way to go. Never in 30s, never in 40's, sometimes in 50's, often in NSL and 78mph on the motorway unless there are variable speed limits which you should always obey. It's all about having the right mindset, and it's not worth complaining about the level of enforcement as you kinda should know not to do it. If you get done, you get done...
The 10% +2 thing is a guideline for traffic coppers, but the law says that 1mph over the limit is speeding, and it's possible for you to get done for that. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

Nokia Maps was rebranded as "Here We Go", the app (Android and IOS) has a speed alert function where you can set your own thresholds.

Waze also has an audible alert when you exceed a speed limit, and an announcement when entering a average speed limit zone. It also has community updated mobile speed trap warnings.

Don't want to sound patronising but it's really all about observing speed limits and keeping to them. Remember the old tell; other than motorways, if there are streetlights then assume it's 30mph unless it says otherwise (repeaters will usually be every 200m or so, can't remember the specific distances). If there are no streetlights, then unless something is strongly suggesting a lower limit (houses close to the road, lots of them, schools, shops etc.) then it's probably a national speed limit, otherwise you'll get repeater signs for the posted speed limit, again at something like the intervals above.
Sometimes it means briefly dawdling while you're uncertain but better safe than sorry.
As an aside, and this is a less reliable method, but road signs are designed with the approaching traffic speed in mind, i.e. things like warning signs are different sizes on different speed roads. A high speed road might have a 900mm, 1200mm or even 1500mm high warning sign, whereas a 30mph road would probably have a 750mm sign, so these can also be a "tell". That said, if the speed limit has been dropped it's unlikely the highways authority will have changed the signs so use it as "extra info" rather than the basis for a decision. ____________________ TG. |
