Here in Arizona, USA the speed cameras (there aren't very many) are set not to issue a citation unless one is more than 9 miles over the speed limit. They do this so they don't have to keep litigating the accuracy of the guns. So on a 65 mph highway, I set my cruise control for 75 or 76 which will mean 74 or 75 since BMWs' speedos are two miles per hour off.
You should read about our Smart motorways (highways) -

Cameras mounted all the way along them.

My favourite are the average speed cameras that some cities have. Nottingham is riddled with them and force you to drive at 30.
