Under police guidelines enforcement normally begins at (Limit+10% + 2mph).
I don't know what happened in Devon but pleading not guilty on the basis that you should be allowed a certain leeway will not succeed.
OK thank you

I spoke to someone recently who went to court and won they were doing 24 in a 20 mph zone and he argued in Devon and under that police force, drivers should be given 10% plus 2 threshhold?
Which pub were you drinking in?

OK thanks for your responses, it was postitioned round a bend at the bottom of a hill, I dont usually use that road so as in most cases this is when they get you. Yes I wasnt going the speed limit but was hardly hamering it, so I take it I just have to accept it, I spoke to someone recently who went to court and won they were doing 24 in a 20 mph zone and he argued in Devon and under that police force, drivers should be given 10% plus 2 threshhold?
Thanks again

OP, there is also a system of street-lighting, which indicates a 30 mph limit.
As for photos, the police do not have to disclose evidence unless you opt for court. A request for photos "to help identify the driver" usually succeeds, but it is too late for that as you have already nominated yourself.

Hi I got seen doing 35mph in a 30 mph zone by a maned camera, firstly is it possible to check the road and limit is correct? I only received the second letter yesterday and the letter is dated 23/4/25. I also cant see anywhere where I'm able to view the pictures online is this normal.
This was the first letter....

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it, Thanks in advance.
The chances of a manned camera being set up incorrectly are most unlikely.
