Are you one speeding myth away from a big fine & Penalty points on your licence? Find out what the law actually is when it comes to speeding & issuing a NIP. Across the UK, speed limits keep falling and it seems like the number of enforcement cameras is exponentially rising.

Once 60 mph roads are now 50. Town centres that were 30 are becoming 20 mph zones.

Drivers everywhere are being caught out — not because they were reckless, but because of common myths and misunderstandings about how speeding laws are enforced.

This video exposes the truth about speeding fines, penalties, cameras, and the so-called “10% + 2” rule that gets thousands of motorists into trouble every year.

In this video we tackle the questions drivers ask most:
Is the 10% + 2 speeding tolerance real, or just a myth?
Can you challenge a speeding fine if you didn’t see the camera flash?
How accurate is your car’s speedometer compared to a satnav?
Can speed camera fines be cancelled if the equipment wasn’t calibrated?
What happens if the Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) arrives late?
Do modern digital cameras in the UK always need to flash?
Is driving at higher RPM in 20 zones really better for emissions or worse?
Are there any real excuses that actually work to get out of a speeding ticket?

Too many drivers rely on pub talk — advice passed around that simply doesn’t hold up when you’re face-to-face with a police officer or speed awareness course.

Saying you thought you were “under 10% plus 2” is an admission of guilt. Claiming the camera wasn’t calibrated rarely works today, because modern systems like HADECS3 and SPECS use digital timestamps and road markings to calculate your exact speed.

Even the idea that cameras must flash is outdated — many now use infrared and never alert you until the letter lands on your doormat.

We also reveal why your car’s own speedometer isn’t telling the full story. EU regulations state speedos cannot under-read but can over-read by up to 10% + 6 mph.

That means if your dial says 72 mph, you may actually be travelling at 65. Satnav systems often provide a more accurate reading, especially at motorway speeds. So when you think you’re on the edge of the limit, you may already be in the clear — or just as easily, already over it.

And what about 20 mph zones? Government speed awareness courses now advise using 2nd or 3rd gear so your revs stay higher, making it harder to creep above the limit.

Yet that raises a new contradiction: higher revs can mean more fuel burn and more emissions, undermining the environmental claims of lower limits.

Still, ignoring them isn’t an option. Wales in particular has moved to almost zero-tolerance enforcement, leaving drivers no room for error.

But there are cases where a fine can be challenged. If speed limit signs are missing, damaged, or obscured by foliage, you can argue you weren’t reasonably aware of the limit. And if an NIP isn’t delivered within 14 days, the case may collapse, though postal delays and leasing companies often weaken this defence.

The harsh reality? Speed enforcement is now automated, precise, and unforgiving. Every offence leaves a digital trail.

The smartest move is knowing the law, knowing your rights, and knowing when the excuses simply don’t work. If you want to push your car to the limit, the racetrack is the place to do it — not the public road where a single mistake could cost you money, points, or worse.

Stick around until the end of the video, because we’ll answer whether there’s still any wriggle room left for UK drivers facing speeding penalties. If you’ve ever wondered what’s fact and what’s fiction when it comes to speeding fines, this is the video you can’t afford to skip.
