If the first is true then how can the second be true?

No but he might be able to confirm whether the cameras can flash you doing less than 35mph and if indeed they always have film in.

If your cars speedo is as accurate as it was from manufacture spech, then you won't get a ticket.
Assuming you haven't changed the size of the wheels and tyres

Re: Can you get flashed doing 31mph?
Just overpumping your tyres can add to your speed... odd innit?

You mean you will get an incorrect reading from speed-o?
Reading will be higher?

That reminds me, how do I use the Tesco Tyre pump (don't laugh)?
What should the reading be on the pump, to inflate the tyres to the right size.

Isn't there a pressure chart by the pump?
They're usually digital ones and about 32 PSI. depends on the car and tyres.

They give you 10% to allow for discrepancies with your speedo, you can be doing 35MPH and not get flashed.

And you still get those that slam on the anchors and go through them at a true speed of around 25MPH. and thinking that the maniac just gone past them a lot faster should have got flashed
