The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points added to your licence
You can also receive a speeding ticket by going 1 mph over the speed limit as the speed limit is not negotiable there is a 2 mph leeway guideline by some police forces but it is worth remembering that this is advice not the law so any police officer with a speed gun or any speed camera operator may issue you a ticket if you are caught bypassing the limit by any percentage.
You should never bypass the speed limit as the speed limit is not there just to look pretty it is there because the government passed the law that made it illegal to go pass any legal speed limit to ensure people are kept safe on Britain's Roads.
Can I break the speed limit to overtake?
No! Despite the higher thresholds of speed cameras in some areas of the UK - you should never go beyond the speed limit.
For example, if you're travelling 31 mph in a 30 limit or 71 mph on a motorway, you're in fact breaking the law and could receive a charge.
