The Traffic Courts of B.C. indicate that there is an "absolute liability" in regards to speeding. This means if you are 1 km/h over the posted speed limit, you are considered to be speeding. There is no assumed margin of error instructed to the R.C.M.P.
The issuing of a violation ticket for speeding is definitley at the discretion of a police officer.
