I'm unable to verify this myself, but I believe it to be true, so forewarned is forearmed.
On a recent trip to Hull, my cousin picked up a speeding ticket for doing 33mph in a 30mph area.
Apparently, there is no tolerance in Hull, anything above the speed limit is bookable. There is none of the '10% + 2mph' tolerance which seems to pervade elsewhere in the country.
As I said, I've no first-hand experience myself, but I don't want fellow Stokies to get caught out & spoil an otherwise tremendous day out.
Best wishes.

I go to Hull regularly and haven't been done once. Been done five times over the border in Lincolnshire, though  . One time it was racing to get to Tescos before closing time for a bag of shallots. That will teach me for attempting middle class recipes. |

Doesn't sound like anyone will be driving to Hull; they'll all be driving Palacios to Villa  |

I've just been done for 37mph in a 30 area on an A road in rural Dorset. Bastards the lot of 'em! Hardly dangerous driving, just a cash cow of a camera!I won't be spending my hard earned on holiday there any more, Twats they are!

Think my dad touched 50 mph driving back in his mini in 1971 after beating them 3-2. Was in a rush to watch the game again on Match of the day, only to find it was on Star Soccer on the Sunday.

Hardly dangerous driving, just a cash cow of a camera!I won't be spending my hard earned on holiday there any more, Twats they are! I can top that mate. I got done on the very outskirts of Crewe for doing 33 in a 30 which had actually been a 40 zone for as long as anybody could remember but it had been changed to a 30 zone just five days earlier! I'd regularly driven that route for years and that was the first time I'd driven down the road since the change and even with a unblemished licence of 20 years, they still gave me 3pts and a fine. It was a hand held gun that got me - I went past him fully confident that I was driving inside the limit permissible. |

I got a ticket for doing 36 in a 30 in Swansea.
The road went from 40 to 30 back to 40 in less that 100 yards.
I wouldn't have minded but I had just finished work at 1 am in the morning and there wasn't a soul about, I never even spotted the signs, although I had done a 16 hour day so tiredness may have kicked in, but it still pissed me off.
What annoyed me more though was it happened in May and the ticket arrived 2 weeks ago.
Bastards.
100 quid and 3 points.
The fucking heddlu should go catch some real criminals the twats.
