Overview
- Car parts retailer Ovoko says the single most common speed on UK speeding tickets is 36mph in 30mph areas.
- The warning references often-cited 10% plus 2mph tolerance guidance, which can place enforcement around 35–36mph in 30 limits.
- Reported hotspots include school drop-off and collection times, downhill stretches, wide town-centre roads, and approaches to villages.
- Ovoko cautions that speedometers may read high or low and that modern cars’ smooth, quiet feel can mask rises above the limit.
- Local coverage notes a typical outcome of three penalty points and a £100 fixed fine, with Section 172 and NIP notices issued and possible court action if ignored.
