Is there a device i can fit to my car to warn me if i'm speeding?
Three times now i've been done.
35, 34 and 40 in a 30. Three times.
Is there anything i can fit to my car to warn me if i'm going over 30 in a 30mph zone, preferably an audio beep or something.
I have a Garmin sat nav, but i dont think it has that facility.

Sit in the driver's seat, hands firmly on the wheel. Look straight ahead, now tilt your head down a few degrees.

Hope that helps

There is also another way to prevent further points..
1. Take one envelope, one 1 st class stamp.
2. Take both parts of driving licence and insert into envelope.
3. Write a nice letter to DVLA saying you are not fit to, or deserve to have a licence.
4. Post all to DVLA in sheepshaggerland..

You know the only bits of road that don't have speed repeater signs?
Motorways and 30 limits.
If there are no signs and you aren't on a motorway then give yourself a ring on the cluephone and slow down.
Observation is everything. There are always, always limit signs when speeds change. If you can look into a residential side street and there is no sign then the speed limit is the same as the road you are on and you can make a pretty good stab that it is 30.
There are also other things about spacing of lamp posts and the white lines you can look out for. Suggest a review of the Highway Code!

...and normal NSL roads. Though they're rapidly becoming 50/40 etc with repeaters hidden behind this year's verge growth. The same growth that hides the PC Copper with the ray gun...

My mum has an old Garmin i3. I've added the Pocket GPS World camera database to it and it makes a faint beep when you're entering a speed camera zone (fixed or any favourite spot for the camera vans) but beeps loudly and continuously if you're speeding in that zone.
My TomTom on the other hand just shows your indicated speed in red if you're speeding (anywhere its speed limit database is filled and accurate), and simply beeps as you enter a camera zone, irrespective of your speed - not half as good as the Garmin from that point of view.
