Doubt it very much as they registered the number plate and doubt whether the police would be bothered that is if the person viewing the photo is even aware that caravans are limited to 50mph on single carriageway..

It's no different to motorway speed cameras as the trigger point is set to 70 mph. which records the vehicle registration number whatever vehicle it is, therefore anyone towing a trailer or caravan at say 68 mph. wouldn't be detected even though it is against the law to tow a trailer over 60 mph. on motorways and dual carriageways.

If towing picture of you speeding will be the rear of the caravan and if they had the desire and knowledge they could prosecute. Ask me how I know although my incident was on an A road.

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Our average speed & speed cameras are set to the mph on the road signs, 30mph in built up areas, 20mph by schools. But there’s a 10% margin of error, so you’d be ok up to 55mph in a 50mph area. A friend has his car cruise control set at 77mph for the long M-way journeys he does for work, just has to watch going downhill.
Our CC uses the vehicle engine to brake if it exceeds the set limit.

Some do, some don't, mine doesn't. I do have to watch it on downhill stretches as it will soon run away with me if I don't. It keeps very accurately to the set speed on the level or uphill though.

Agree 100%.
That is one of those hopeful myths, like having a grace period to renew vehicle tax.

It isn't a myth it is just that not all forces follow the ACPO guidelines on speeding tolerances.
These apply the 10% + 2MPH limit:
Avon and Somerset, Cheshire, Cleveland, Derbyshire, Devon and Cornwall, Durham, Gwent, Hampshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Merseyside, Metropolitan Police (TFL), Norfolk, North Wales, Northumbria, Northern Ireland, South Wales, South Yorkshire, Suffolk, Thames Valley, Warwickshire, West Mercia, and West Yorkshire.
