SP30 vs SP60 ?

[megakid]

Working in blockbuster I see plenty of licenses when people use them to open accounts (proof of address etc), today I saw one with an SP30 and an SP60.

I looked these up and found the SP30 is "Exceeding statutory speed limit on public road" - fair enough.
but the SP60 is defined as "Undefined speed limit offence".

What is the difference? Or given that an SP50 is for exceeding a motorway speed limit, what could a SP60 be given for?

I think SP60s are given when you are done speeding on national speed limit roads.

SP60s are also sometimes given for exceeding a temporary speed limit apparently. They have also been known to be incorrectly issued.

SP60s have a bigger effect on insurance premiums than SP30s.

Incorrect. This should be an SP30.

i have an sp60 on my license ( and an sp50 and an sp30 ) but the sp60 was on a national so i think should be sp30

They tried to give me SP50/60 on a A road - Took weeks to sort out

I got an SP60 for speeding in roadworks on a motorway. (I was actually past the roadworks and the road was back to 3 full width lanes I just hadn't got to the NSL sign yet before I get burned at the stake )
