I’m with you roadhog, it is a complete myth, especially since the speeding laws changed on the 24th of April.
You lads better inform the CPS then… The people who take things to court. cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/r … ty-notices Have a look and come back and tell me how they are wrong and you are right.

Scroll down and have a look at the table here Sammy, bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39686894
Quite clearly says that (in band A) you can possibly be looking at a fine and points for as little as 1mph over the limit. This is the very same table that our driver trainer used when these new laws came into force. If I’m still wrong then I apologise because I must be misreading it.

I think there are two different things quoted here: IF the CPS guidelines have not changed, the 10% + 2 mph allowance should still be used to decide WHETHER to prosecute.
The Sentencing table sets out the scale of fines/points/disqualifications which apply IF the driver IS prosecuted.
I may be wrong, it would be helpful if we had a proper legal decision on this.
