Hi, 50 in a 40 limit, no doubt he saw me, but am I above the trigger limit?

Not too sure that holds in all cases. Guy down the road got done by the (fixed) camera outside Homerton College, Hills Rd, Cambridge last year doing 33 in 30. So maybe the 10% is your lot in a BUA? -- Greybeard FLHTCUI UK-07 Mk II Trumpet Trophy 1200 new one coming soon! Garmin Zumo 550, To get me home! ukrm@foxtails[dot]co[dot]uk
There's not much chance of a type approved speedo overreading by _at least_ 10%. The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, as amended, permit only speedos that meet EC Community Directive 75/443(97/30) or ECE Regulation 39. The rule, as far I can find it, is that the indicated speed must not exceed the true speed by more than 10% + 4km/h.
50 in a 40 limit, no doubt he saw me, but am I above the trigger limit? Funnily enough, I thought this, but I went passed one of those new fangled things that tells you your speed and it was spot on at 59.
ACPO is/was 10% + 2mph which is 46 in a 40. However, depends on the camera authority as they may operate their own "zero tolerance" or similar policy of higher or lower trigger. Guess you'll just have to wait 14 days to find out.
