35mph

Quote:

MORE than 75,000 drivers were caught speeding in North Wales last year - costing motorists over £4.5m in fines. The number - more than the entire population of Anglesey - included drivers caught by cameras and police officers over the last 12 months. The figures, obtained by the Daily Post, showed nearly a 50% increase from 2004 - when 52,501 tickets were issued ....................................The rise comes after the force reduced the threshold for issuing tickets from 38mph to 35mph in a 30mph zone. The threshold was cut after a recommendation by the Association of Chief Police Officers to issue tickets to drivers caught 10% over the speed limit plus 2mph.

Enforcing at 35 is no big surprise, I guess.

What is more interesting is where did this information come from? Did NW Police disclose it? If they did, they have undermined the claimed exemption from all the other scammers that they simply cannot disclose thresholds, because to do so would harm law and order.

That would mean either the others are lying in order to withold information, or NW are deliberately undreming law and order.

If speed cameras are supposedly slowing people down as SCP’s boast, how is it the number of motorist caught speeding has doubled, and how many of those caught where travelling at 37 mph?
