AIUI they are usually calibrated right on the ACPO guidelines of +10% +2mph, so in a 40 you would be ticketed for doing 46 mph or above.

But remember that has to be an average throughout the section covered by the cameras, not a momentary maximum.

And your speedo is likely to overread by 2-4 mph at those speeds anyway.
