Technically speaking, 1 MPH above the speed limit is an offence. This is because a speed limit is a limit. Therefore, driving 31 MPH in a 30 MPH zone is a crime. Speeding and other alike Road Traffic Offences are subject to what is known as 'strict liability' - this means that often, nothing else is required other than the 'act' itself to be guilty of the crime. Therefore, driving 31 MPH is unlawful. However, most police forces in England and Wales operate what is known as the '10% plus 3' rule. This means that within a 30 MPH zone, you should be able to drive up to 35 MPH without the worry of being prosecuted. Yet, strictly speaking, a mile per/hour above the limit is a crime and you may be prosecuted, as previously said. Hope this answers your question.
