I have never understood people being prosecuted at 33 in a 30 limit, no more than I understand claims of zero tolerance in certain areas (such as North Wales).

ACPO publish national guidelines for enforcement/speed awareness and refer to 10%+2 for enforcement and 10%+6 for speed awareness.

Fortunately I've never been in the position of needing to test the guidelines, but as the guidelines are public record I would have thought they give enough indication that prosecution should not occur at less than 35 in a 30!

I know that there is at least one ex-bobby who visits this site, so maybe he can explain!
