Exactly, it really ticks me off to have an irresponsible fool tear past me when im sat at the limit in roadworks. The limit is there for the safety of the workers, and that of the drivers too.

Fine, if you want to endanger your own life then do so without putting the lives of others at risk too.

I'm not targetting my anger at you, krhall - just those sort of people in general. I understand you just asked out of interest.

On the way home the traffic is quite bad, im usually doing more like 30mph for my own saftey.

On the way to work though, i still do the normal speed limit, only if the traffic is good (not tooo bad once your past the M25 exit sliproad). Again, traffic permitting. I don't ride like a loon, but i continue to filter. The cameras pick up registration plates, you have no markings for them to pickup..

And its going to get much worse, have you noticed the camera frames now go all the way from the M25 down to the M2/Wainscott bypass now.......

Heres looking to another 1.5 years worth of nightmare traffic.

TBH though, i get people come flying past me also.

I looked at them a couple of weeks ago and it looked like they had turned a camera around.

Daimo 05-01-07 02:32 PM

i'll double check tonight, but i've not noticed any of them turned around.

But..

Theres only 2-3 cameras, so if 1 is turned round it can't work as it does the average speed. Would need 2 doing at the least.

I was in my car with my two year old son at the time so couldn't study them, but just thought I'd ask the question.

I got no sympathy on here when I moaned about the M42 around Birmingham, dug up as it was for 2 years with SPECS (which are now permanent BTW). Why should the south-east be any different?

It all depends on how old the Specs system is. The older systems could only cover 1 lane but newer specs systems can cover multiple lanes and areas.
