Subject: Speed Cameras on M25 - Warning.


Could be a hoax - but anyway.....

FYI. Take care if you are using the M25 after 15th Feb.

All

I have just been informed by a friend that works for the Metropolitan Police Service that as from the 15th February 08 all the Speed Cameras in the Variable Speed Limit section of the M25 near Heathrow Airport (JCT 10-15) are going digital, and the activation limit is being lowered.

They are currently the older film type cameras and Set at 90mph when the Variable Limit Signs are not in operation.

The new digital cameras are going to be set at the normal speed limt +10% + 2mph (80mph + and you're taking a risk basically) when the signs are not in use i.e. national speed limit. I can't confirm the activation limit when the signs are set (variable limits showing) but believe it would be the same 10% + 2mph of the speed shown by the sign at that time.

Please pass this on to anyone you know.

I hope this saves a few of you getting points on your licence!!!

I used to think they worked but stopped believing so carried on as normal.

Reckon someone with Blue in his nickname needs to do some asking in a certain traffic orientated department. :smt036
