« on: 30 June 2013, 18:56:11 »

I think thats what they are called  :-\ Anyway how come i stick to the 60mph speed limit and loads and loads of drivers zoom past at 70-80  :-\ Are these drivers just stupid or do they know the cameras are not working  :-\ M1 btw .

You mean Average speed cameras?

Average speed over a set distance.

You can do 80 in a 60 provided you slow down to 40 for the same amount of time within the two cameras, then your average will still be 60. ...for example.

Reality is its quite hard to get cought. Plus if you time it right you can be next to a lorry and the camera can't see you.

Its rumoured they don't work if you change lanes in the duration too.


Personally, I don't think they work too well.

Thats about the only way I think, tailgate a truck or even a car entering the section?

Still is it worth the risk? I just slap the cruise on to what ever is the limit, its not often for very far, few miles?

Cameras are usually temporary down this way, so are rear facing positioned at the side of the road. Lorry in lane 1, just sit next to it in lane 2. Gantree mounted ones would probably need a lorry behind maybe? We don't get them down here so much.

But no probably not worth it.
