Motorists often wonder how speeding rules are enforced by police. Many tend to think going over the speed limit by just a small amount, like 1 or 2mph, won’t matter and the police will let you off.
However, officers at West Midlands Police have refused to confirm if that is the case. In a freedom of information request, they were asked if there is a "speed tolerance" in relation to how speed cameras are enforced across the region - "for example, 10% +2mph".
As Birmingham Live reports, in that example, it means that motorists would be let off with doing 35mph in a 30mph. It’s unlikely that this is the case.
