We got cameras all over the place here, and the speed limit of city express ways is only 80km/h. It's tough as it is here with all the traffic, makes it even more frustrated with the cams around.
I still have two unpaid tickets

Australia works in same fashion as Britan. 12 points.
I got fined going 61km/h in a 60km/h zone, going down hill.
no 3km/h tolerance.
Melbourne raises the most revenue from speeidng fines then any other States in Australia

Tolerance in HK is 15 kph, anything over that is points deduction but will not affect insurance unlike other countries. As long as you don't cliam anything your insurance stays low.

- I got filmed from behind by an unmarked Mondeo V6 on probably the only decent motorway that we have here at a max speed of 196 km/h :'( . Limit is 130 km/h. They asked if I want to see the film which I politely declined. After a long discussion, since I wasn't driving in an unsafe manner I managed to get off only 25 Euro lighter
