Leeway for speeding

[Ho3n3r]

Ok so I what about 60 zones,still 10km/h leeway guys?So 70?

Yeah.

Is there leeway for speeding at all?

I set my cruise control to 131km/h, which is probably a real speed of 128km/h - and I thought in a 120km/h they start trapping at 132km?

Else, I have a number of other fines coming my way ...

You will be fined from

120 zone at 131 km/h
100 zone at 111 km/h
80 zone at 91 km/h
70 zone at 81 km/h
60 zone at 71 km/h

I use iGo SatNav where I set warnings at 110% above speed limit. I'm sure Tomtom, Garmin have similar functionality.

My garmin has the feature, but it doesn't have the leeway included so it beeps after you go over 120.

I've received speed fines in Jhb for doing 105 in a 100 zone so either I've been conned by the greedy traffic department whose sole purpose is revenue collection rather than safety or Jhb/Gauteng doesn't give leeway. I know in other provinces there is definitely 10kmh leeway though.

Conned, accuracy they use with leeway for motor cars is 10% or 10km/h above.

We have those Average Speed Cameras all over the Western Cape now, my TomTom has this feature where it lets you know you're in a average speed zone and tells you your average. So, when you stop for roadworks, you can speed all you want until you hit the average

I found out last Sunday that the maximum fine they can write is for 160km/h... Had to drive behind the cops to the police station.... who kept stopping to ask if I was sure if I wanted to go to the police station or if i wanted to pay a 'spot fine'... fun times....

How did this end?

I set mine at 131

Cool was it an addon or did it come with the Tomtom? Mine just warns me of the cameras

You can set your cruise control to 130 km/h in a 120 km/h zone and you should be fine.

Nice choice of words.
