Just over the threshold. By about 1 mph. They say 10% plus 2 mph which is 79mph in a 70. But apparently this is not set in stone and the regional authority will say yay or nay on it…
Police forces are not required to follow the 10% + 2 mph guideline. Some may enforce at lower or higher thresholds depending on local policy, road safety concerns, or the circumstances. Gleaned from the internet
For a while last year, Thames Valley set the threshold on 2 of the latest generation of cameras on the M4 London bound between J11 and J10 at 73mph. Raised a huge revenue boost. Andy
Average speed cameras and fixed cameras may also operate according to local enforcement policies rather than a universal threshold.
Well what we do know is any threshold that might exist in D & C is less than 10% plus 3 mph. Im confident of a speed awareness course, but its not a foregone conclusion so we just need to wait for the wife to dob me in and see what happens.
I'm not sure that the speed awareness courses actually do any good other than as a cash Cow. If you really want to concentrate minds on driving only points on licence work.
I suspect statistically courses work. Yes you pay more for a course than the fine, but it’s not much more so there is no financial incentive for whoever gets the dosh. For someone like me who drives for work, a course with no points is a no brainer. Ironically this will be my third, first one in the campervan on the A303 just completed an overtake going to Cornwall, this one on the A30 coming back from Cornwall, both in my own time.
Does not your third paragraph completely destroy your argument in your first paragraph; you suspect they work, but this will be your third if you get it? Tends to suggest that the first two haven't...
