So, that's the full story :-)


Its worth keeping in mind that they are not usually set to trigger any
lower than at the ACPO guideline speed (10% + 2mph), ...


Wossit got to do with ACPO? That's a trade union, isn't it?

Association Of Chief Police Officers. They set guidelines for such
things, and the current one for speeding prosecution is (Speed limit +
10% + 2mph). This may be ignored at the prosecuting officer's
discretion, and you can, technically, be prosecuted for speeding at
30.1mph in a 30 limit. It's also been said by many motorway police
people that they normally don't bother prosecuting at below 80 mph, but
don't count on it.
