so the ANPR system...

I wonder how that would work.

The ANPR camera reports to the police that is has spotted a car
that has been reported 3 times for speeding in a quiet village.
It's now driving in a town centre doing 10MPH like ever other car
in the traffic jam that has just passed the ANPR camera.

ANPR cameras are not just static some traffic cars are fitted with
them. So the traffic plod get alerted, they might choose to follow
for a while to see what the "tagged" car does. Chances are that the
driver is an habitual speeder...

A possibility. But it seems very unlikely to me.

I cannot see many people getting caught 3 times by the volunteers
and still not managing to lose their license by being caught
speeding elsewhere by the police (unless they live local)

Unless he has a "road angel" or similar device that warns him of the
static cameras and maybe even the mobile ones as they have to publish
(stupidly IMHO) well before hand where they are going to be.

If they did not publish the details then they would not be able to claim "we
are doing it for safety not to raise money" before parking the van well away
from the likes of Andy Cap and Charles' villages :-).
