Driving past the same school at 7am on a Sunday morning at 45 when there's no houses in the same area is unlikely to constitute dangerous driving.

Of course, cameras have no discretion...

In my opinion this is a very naive and potentially dangerous argument, road systems within 30mph zones are designed around that limit most of the time nowadays, what I mean is you can have a blind exit out onto a 30mph road with just enough vision so as that if you pull out and someone is doing around the 30mph limit then they will allways have time to adjust their speed without the need to pull up sharpely, whereas if they are doing 50% over that limit then they would not be able to stop in time.
Time of day takes no presidence in this argument the School mentioned above may have one of these factors as well within that same 30mph zone.
