If a driver is caught driving at excessive speed they be issued a warning but not with a speeding ticket.
A Notice of Intended prosecution will be issued automatically after you've been snapped by a police office operating a speed camera.
However while penalties/speeding tickets can’t be issued resulting from a community speed watch team’s recording many forces say they will actively ‘target’ repeat offenders for ‘enforcement’.
Most community speed watch activity takes place in residential areas, with speed limits of 30-40mph, so driving at excessive speed is a serious offence.
