In Hong Kong, the police deduct 4mph from your recorded speed to allow for speed camera inaccuracy.
Regarding AA's neighbour being fined for driving 2mph over the speed limit (22 June), the police here in Hong Kong deduct 4mph from your recorded speed to allow for the inaccuracy of speed cameras. They are also very friendly and courteous.

Hong Kong taxi drivers struck me as being the most impatient and bad tempered hornblowers on the planet. And friends living in mainland China tell me that the police there are totally out of control of motorists. There is no effective enforcement of speed limits or basic traffic regulations at all due to the overwhelming numbers.
