Nope. You're allowed to go 10%-ish above the limit, so 33 is fine.

Hi, I was driving today in a 30mph zone and I wasn’t paying attention to how fast I was going and as I passed a speed camera I realised I was doing 33mph, will I get a ticket?

Depends on how accurate your speedo is - it's likely you were within tolerance of the camera. Did it flash?

Couldn’t see if it flashed, it was too sunny

I'd hazard a guess that you'll be okay, but be more careful in future.

Don't think you will.

I read somewhere there is a tolerance of 5mph.

Remember not all cameras are switched on.

You're referencing the ACPO guidelines, which are not followed by every Police force.

This is no longer the case as speedometers have become very accurate

Speedos are purposely made inaccurate to prevent them from underreading. It's the law.
