Following up to John Cartmell

the safety cameras will I think do you for 70 + 10% + 2 = 82.
Your "indicated" is likely to be very slightly more.
A patrol car probably doesn't want the aggro for 83 mph.
100mph (30+) will earn serious aggro.

I know of someone getting a ticket for 32mph in a 30mph limit.

that's very unusual as the chief constables recommendation for
the margin gives (thinks)......35 mph. Or probably an indicated
36+.

It can happen here if they have one of their selective enforcement
campaigns, i.e., they blitz motorists for a week on some item such as a dead
tail-light or they apply the speed limits very strictly.
A speed cop once told me that he added 5% to the setting on the camera which
annoyed me when I got a ticket in the mail for 103kph in a 100kph zone. At
least here they treat speed camer tickets as 'property' offences (they send
the ticket to the owner of the vehicle) and you don't get points.
