Re: Motorway Speed Cameras
There effectivenes in reducing collisions seams today in need of more research.
People jumping on the brakes when they pass every gantry over the M25 is plain worrisome. And allot of the time it's a jerck reaction even though they are travelling on the posted limit.

I think you just redefined "impeccable", the highest standards would usually include obeying all the rules of the road, like the one on speed. Last edited by Spank86; 04-02-15 at 01:00 PM. |

I don't think that L3nny has redefined 'impeccably' either. It's entirely possible to drive safely and quickly, whilst breaking an arbitrary speed limit. Sometimes they might change the speed limit on a road, e.g. from a 70 to a 50 (as has happened on sections of the A1 recently). This doesn't mean that someone who still drives at 70mph is driving any worse than they did before. |

although i'm not sure how safe average speed cameras are since they usually have me looking at my speedo far more often than I otherwise would and that's all time my eyes are off the road. Last edited by Spank86; 05-02-15 at 10:59 AM. |

Agreed, properly deployed these definitely make a difference. With a lot of modern cars having cruise control, sticking to the 50 (or whatever) limit average speed cameras are enforcing is easy. |

I know some people dislike CC but I find it more relaxing to activate it and go at my own speed in the (usually empty) lane 1 of the M25 than constantly speeding up/down as people tailgate each other in lanes three and four.
