People are often curious about speed limit thresholds if worrying about a possible fine.
Speeding is the most common motoring offence with 74 per cent of driving crimes due to surpassing the limits, according to the latest government data.
The answer to whether you have been caught or not tends to differ depending on the area you have been driving through.
Following a Freedom of Information request made by Riverdale Leasing, there is finally some clear guidance - reports Plymouth Live.
The request was issued to all 43 UK police constabularies, asking how fast a driver must be going to activate a camera.

This means that if you are driving in a 30MPH zone, you would activate a speed camera if you were driving 35MPH or more.
Or, if you were speeding in a 40MPH zone, you would meet the threshold at 46MPH.

However, the 20MPH limit is usually in place for school zones where children are crossing, making it extremely dangerous if you choose to speed.
Roads with a 30MPH limit also have more speeders; the government statistics show that 3 in 5 drivers (62 per cent) break the limit in these zones.
The research found that 1 in 5 (19 per cent) cars travel

In his review of the film, TheWrap’s Steve Pond wrote “‘Nothing Compares’ is a movie that is both timely and curiously out of time. It’s a potent film that explores the roots of the brilliant but troubled Irish singer, who’s been back in the news recently with the suicide of her teenage son and her own hospitalization, but it also turns her recent years into an afterthought, bypassing many of the highs and lows that led her here over the last two decades.”“Nothing Compares” is produced by Eleanor Emptage and Michael Mallie for Tara Films (UK) and Ard Mhacha Productions (Ireland), and presented by Field of Vision.
