misses speeding

Whatever the action verb , the natural reaction when spotting any form of speed enforcement is to ease off, before looking down at the speedo, so she would have been travelling at a higher indicated speed when/if they pinged her.

Just wait it out, they won't prosecute unless her actual speed was over 46, which would have been near 50 on the speedo, and then they should offer a course rather than points.

The 10% + 2 is simply a guideline and is sometimes used for fixed speed detection equipment but it's far from guaranteed that the mobile setup that the OP's wife went through had this tolerance applied.

which county was she in - they sometimes offer speed awareness courses instead of fine & points

True, the equipment won't be set in that way.

However, the important thing is that the guidelines seem usually to be followed pretty rigidly in deciding whether to take action.

It's pretty irrelevant in the OP's case as all we know is the speed indicated when his wife decided to look at the speedo, which may have been some time after being "nicked".

But in spite of many anecdotes the folks on pepipoo.com have

suspect we'll know in the next couple of days.

The equipment isn't set at any speed as its manually operated.

"she was roaring along a dual carriageway when she noticed a camera unit, eased off and looked down at the speedo to see it read 47 in a 40."

Please keep in mind she has only recently swapped from a bubble shaped micra to a focus 2.0!


Roaring is not something that happens naturally in a micra!


I wouldnt trust the app on your phone. Its not accurate enough.


However I suspect its more accurate than the speedo of a 17 year old focus :-)

But a 1L Micra can do 47 in a 40 also. and 90 in a 40 if you so desire.

Currently out and about early with barely any traffic, 3 days this week the same BMW has overtaken me at close to double the speed limit (best guess) and twice he was sitting at the lights having broken the limit for no reason advantage.
