Exact same experience for me.. it looks like a 40 at least and the warning signs to say it’s a 30 are not very clear. I actually got done doing 40 there as I was convinced it was 40 so kept to what I thought was the legal limit. Think mine was 3 points and £60 fine at the timeThat'll be on peel way dual carriage way, should be at least 40 - 50 limit but its a 30, speed cam caught me doing 33 ffs still had to do the course
30mph is the usual default speed limit and set by the spacing of Street lights, warnings not normally required. 33mph in a 30mph limit would not attract a penaltyExact same experience for me.. it looks like a 40 at least and the warning signs to say it’s a 30 are not very clear.

Very very unfortunate to be prosecuted for 3330mph is the usual default speed limit and set by the spacing of Street lights, warnings not normally required. 33mph in a 30mph limit would not attract a penalty
If that’s the rules then fair enough.. Think I ll sue my driving instructor from 30 years ago as he definitely didn’t tell me that:)30mph is the usual default speed limit and set by the spacing of Street lights, warnings not normally required. 33mph in a 30mph limit would not attract a penalty
He’s right it’s in the Highway Code if the spacing between the lampposts is less than a certain distance it’s 30mph.If that’s the rules then fair enough.. Think I ll sue my driving instructor from 30 years ago as he definitely didn’t tell me that:)
However how would a motorist know what the legal distance of street lights are when driving down a road before knowing what my speed to do without any signs?
Have u passed a driving test? If so you will be aware of para 125 of highway codeIf that’s the rules then fair enough.. Think I ll sue my driving instructor from 30 years ago as he definitely didn’t tell me that:)

200yds or less, unless otherwise signposted.He’s right it’s in the Highway Code if the spacing between the lampposts is less than a certain distance it’s 30mph.
This would be cited if you were caught doing much more and tried to defend yourself in court.
National speed limit is 60 mph on all other roads though.

Recite it every night before going to bed.Have u passed a driving test? If so you will be aware of para 125 of highway code
Forget lamp posts Street lights etc. The simple rule is, if there are no signs it is 30.mph any other speed has to be clearly indicated by signs. The only time 30 is shown is when leaving a higher speed limit.If that’s the rules then fair enough.. Think I ll sue my driving instructor from 30 years ago as he definitely didn’t tell me that:)

I cant believe I'm posting this.. yeah another bored man with no football to watch.
Im sure I was taught that you could go travel at plus 10% of the speed limit without any issue. So 33 in a 30. Etc. Ive never been caught seeding and have applied that rule for 30 years.
200yds or less, unless otherwise signposted.
I think it's called...' Motoring expences 'I've just got notification of a speeding offence in Bury, doing 38 on a 30 limit. I do about 50k per year, I'm a courteous driver, I'll stop for pedestrians to cross if it's older people or parents with kids, I never drive dangerously and never jump red lights, I don't remember the day I was supposedly going over the limit but I almost guarantee I wasn't putting anyone in danger, fuming, but I'll just tell my accountant to reduce my tax by a £100 to pay for the course:-)
