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. Out of the 21 responses it received, 57 per cent of police forces advised the threshold for speed cameras is 10 per cent plus 2MPH.

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, Scottish police forces would not confirm whether this is the formula used for all types of cameras.The government research also reveals that over half of British drivers 55 per cent speed at any given time, on average.Drivers are most likely to break the law in 20MPH zones, with a huge nine in 10 drivers found speeding on these roads.
