madsod 0 Posted November 9, 2013 Not to sure if folks know this, but the `Speed Thresholds` have changed. :-?New guidelines from the Association of Chief Police Officers could lead to three points and a £100 fine for anyone caught speeding by just 4mph in a 20mph zone. Common sense really!New guidelines set out thresholds for fixed penalties, speed awareness courses and summonses. This could mean doing 24-31mph in a 20mph zone might lead to being offered a place on a speed awareness course. Speeds over 34mph in a 20mph zone would automatically land you in court.The threshold for a fixed penalty fine and points is 10% over the limit plus 2mph, this applies for all zones. Speed awareness courses are offered for up to 42 in a 30 zone, 75 in a 60 and 86 in a 70. Summonses will then be issued for 50 in a 30, 86 in a 60 and 96 in a 70.However, the new guidelines will not replace police officers’ discretion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
