In a 20mph zone, set for safety reasons such as a school or pedestrian traffic, they absolutely do. Survivability is seven times higher at 20mph than 30mph.

I'm afraid that on top of your £45 admin fees, the fine will be £100, so you're looking at $200.

No, only those who don't pay attention to the clearly posted speed limit.

I'd suggest that says more about the driver's ability than anything else.

It's context. Traditionally there has been an informal 10% leeway given. You exceeded that leeway by 3.5 times. 4 mph more and you'd have been looking at a more serious category B offence.
