    Drove past one of those new digital cameras today, the ones which don't flash etc.

    Was doing 55mph in a 50 zone – what's the likely outcome from it ?

    You will be lynched by the morons on here long before you get a ticket…

    should be fine, 55 indicated might be 53 in reality so not enough to set it off (probably)

    I got zapped doing 37 in a 30 last week. My details are now in the post 🙁

    55 on the speedo means you were probably actually doing around 50.
    Allowing for some tolerance I'd be very surprised if you got a ticket.

    I here speedo's are set a bit fast so hopefully 55 indicated will be a bit slower etc.

    It's the speed limit + 3mpg + 10% isn't or something which would make it 58mph.

    I'd agree, not much chance of getting nicked IMO. Your speedo will be quite a way out already and they generally give you some leeway. if you want to satusfy yourself, drive along at 55 with a GPS device in the car, you'll be amazed at the difference. My car is terrible, it reads 80 when it's doing 72. The wife's is a lot better but still reads 70 when she's doing65.

    My speedo (2007 Ford Focus) is about 10% faster than the reported GPS speed.

    Fingers crossed then, guess i'll known within two weeks.

    FYI it's a Ford Fiesta, 54 Reg so hope the speedo is a bit out.

    35 in a 30 had to do the speed awareness thing. Fingers crossed.
