It was the first time, about nine or ten years ago.
32mph in a 30mph limit - I was confused by some recent changes between 30, 40 and 50 on a road I used every day!
No penalty as it was a first offence, if I took a Speed Awareness Course. Which I did.
I've always been careful since, whether on a small local road or a motorway, and sometimes use the occasional roadside speed-indicators to judge the accuracy of my speedometer. (It over-reads slightly, so at least errs on the side of safety.)
