Mobile speed cameras?

[Piggywinkle]

Just gone past a mobile speed camera on a 30 road, doing about 33/34 - slowed down as soon as I saw it, think it was too late though

Anyone else been in a similar situation? What should I expect?

If you got caught, a letter through the post, 3 point and an (£80 I think) fine.

I think you'll probably be okay if it was only 33 mph, pretty sure there is a 10% give in it, but could be wrong. X

You should be fine if it was only a couple of MPH over, but when my OH got a speeding fine it was £60 and 3 points. (he was doing way over the limit, the stupid arse )

Nothing, expect nothing

You do get a certain percentage plus your speedo is usually showing one or two mph faster than your actual speed

It's usually 10%+2 that you're 'allowed' so i doubt very much you will receive anything.

Thanks ladies - spoke to my friend this afternoon, she got done on the same stretch of road doing 36mph but because it was her first offence, she was offered an £80 fine and attending a speed awareness course rather than the £60 fine + 3 penalty points. I definitely wasn't over 35 as I'd just pulled out of a junction and was building up speed when I noticed the van but it was too late by then

The road in question used to be 40mph zone, but there were a few accidents down there last year, hence the new speed limit and mobile cameras. It's quite an open road, so easy to go over the speed limit and not realise it :/
