My biggest concern is that there is no natinally agreed binding tolerance on the actual speed relative to the measuring equipment. It isn't just or reasonable for one police authority to apply "zero tolerance" speed enforcement while others apply the 10% + 2mph rule. The speed limits are national, so should the enforcement levels be, surely ?.

Surely, the answer is the speed limit is the speed limit, and getting away with anything over that is a bonus?

At the end of the day, if it was written down that it's speed limit plus 10% plus 2mph, then the speed limit on a motorway or dual carriageway would in effect be 79mph...
