No Escape - average speed cameras being rolled out
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/dri...cle4909662.ece
Like the title says, average speed cameras are being rolled out on roads that lack roadworks in an attempt to enforce speed limits more rigidly. The article says they can cover an area of up to 15 miles - anyone who's been through the M1 roadworks knows just how ****ing boring it is to spend such a huge period of time staring at your speedo to avoid a fine. I've no problem with this cameras being used in 20mph limits to enforce them; there's enough idiots who tear through them without thinking about why such a low limit's in place. Long rural A roads, on the other hand? |
Re: No Escape - average speed cameras being rolled out
from my experience of average speed cameras, the 'film' or record the front number plate on a car.
Where does the front number plate on a 2000 curvey SV attach, mine must of fallen off. ;) |
Re: No Escape - average speed cameras being rolled out
Is this new news :confused: Nottingham/Nottinghamshire has had average speed spec cameras for the last 6 years.
And all I ever hear every morning is that the M1 is closed between 6 and 10......or 26 and 27 because of an accident or a breakdown :rolleyes: help they do not. |

"long stretches of A road"
long stretches of a road with corners? long stretches of a road that nobody speeds on anyway? long stretches of a road that nobody speeds on anyway with corners that reduce the vehicles average speed? has anyone thought this through? |

I like the way that instead of looking at the road your constantly watching your speedo while prams, kids, people go flying over your bonnet :)

Pick a nice A/B road, have a blast down it.
When you see the second yellow box (assuming it's yellow), pull over & congratulate yourself on wearing away more chicken strips, or getting your knee down X times etc etc. Then continue, and trigger the second camera. Average speed depends on how long you stop, but easily well within the limit at all times officer! |

I presume there'll still be the 10% +2mph thing?
