Passed driving test a month ago at the age of 28.. issues
Discussion
OP, just keep and eye out for the limits and stick with them, then by default you'll be fine.
Even if you do 32/31 through a camera you'll likely not get in trouble. Also don't forget unless you're doing a silly amount over the limit which by the sounds of it, is unlikely you'd only get 3 points if you made a mistake and got caught.
You're overthinking it though mate, you'll be fine.

You definitely seem to have some underlying mental health issue that needs attention.
I don't say this flippantly.
You have gone to far, I've been ignoring most of these comments as only a handful have actually been helpful.. how on earth does me not wanting to get caught by a speed camera mean I have mental health issues? I don't say this flippantly.

This has to be a joke.
Interested in why you think I'm joking? I'm not joking in the slightest, I guess the fact it took me 4 attempts to pass makes the thought of having to do it again frightening. If you are that scared of speed cameras I think some therapy would help.

It's not normal to be that anxious about something so minor No-ones normal but when things like this impact your quality of life that's when to consider help imo.. My comment earlier was also honest/not taking the piss.If you are that scared of speed cameras I think some therapy would help.

To be fair, if it were up to me, I'd have not allowed you to obtain a licence anyway.
Maximum of 3 attempts to pass and must be done by the age of 25 would be my criteria.
If you can't pass either of them, you're probably not going to be either very adept at it or be interested enough in driving to improve your skills to a decent standard.
Cool! And maximum 2-5 years between retests?Maximum of 3 attempts to pass and must be done by the age of 25 would be my criteria.

Like I have to do.
I bet you wouldn’t pass if you had to take your test again?

Or your money back.
The best thing you can do OP is get out on the road and start getting a feel for things. Before long you’ll know where to expect cameras and can just take extra care past these. You can go through a camera at 30 on the nose and you’ll be fine, probably a couple over though don’t tempt it.
As others have said, with experience will come an intuition of your speed without having to look every 5 seconds. Don’t let this come between you and your partner for goodness sake.

It's simple. The safest approach is not to look for speed cameras, look for speed signs and learn how to spot where the various limits are likely to be. Learn to religiously stick to the speed limit, once you're in the habit, it'll stick. Sometimes the signs are not as frequent as they should be but there are other indications. E.g. if there are no 30 mph signs on residential side roads off the road you are on, the chances are you're in a 30 mph zone (although lower speed limits seem to be becoming more common, near schools etc)
If you rely on spotting speed cameras and vans, you'll always miss one.

Even taking into account the level set by some of the complete dicks we have had in government lately, it would still never be up to you with opinions like that 
Just keep to the speed limits, (Even if you don't agree with them) and you won't get a ticket.
It's not rocket science.
I was done for 44 in a 30 in Bolton in 1973 (A radar trap hidden behind a wall), so being sneaky nothing new.
You have to be careful as a new driver because if you get six points within two years of passing your test your licence will be revoked.
