So is it that UK speed signs are enforced to the letter?

Here in my state (US), it is completely arbitrary. Highway signs are 55, but most cars are doing 70 and do not get ticketed.

There is a lot of discretion in ticketing here. Usually the tickets start at 15 over the limit.
Only if you're unlucky enough to get caught
Unfortunately there are many fixed & mobile speed cameras throughout the UK. They call themselves safety camera partnerships, fixed fines & endorsement on your licence unless you haven't been caught speeding within three years, then you get the option of a £100 fine & going on a speed safety awareness course. I've been on one & have had up to 9 points on my licence in the past, its clean now though
