24mph in a 20 zone? You maniac.

51* in a 40 on a road in the sticks with no signage and no buildings and no street lighting.
The Welsh have gone daft with speed restrictions.

*There's some sort of percentage rule where had I been caught at 52, I wouldn't have been offered the speed awareness course.
Still, £100 fine and 3 points or £80 to go online for a few hours.

IIRC the threshold for speed awareness vs points is up to 7mph above the '10% +2' threshold which usually triggers scameras. So in a 40, up to 53 is OK for a course and in a 70 it's up 86. I went to my course in person and it was full of people who'd been doing 25-30 in a 20 in and around London, not exactly the cast of 'Fast & Furious'. Although some of them were a bit miffed.
