Speeding through average speed camera zones - What gives?
Discussion
It blows my mind to think that there are drivers out there that either simply don't care about the prospect of getting a fine or even more worryingly just don't understand what the restricted average speed section is all about.
Or more intriguingly, do they really know something that most other drivers don't?

i see this most times and couldnt give a fig. i just laugh on the inside that at some point these dippers will receive a fine and maybe some points.
i seem to spot a lot of young asian females in quite new motors giving itf the beans through these sections......not a care in the world.
just think to yourself....sod em.
its the black audi a4 estates that piss me off-their drivers "and powerfully built friend" riding shotgun doing 52mph almost pretending to be the traffic cops. could just be my lively imagination playing tricks though.
Yeah don't get me wrong it does make me laugh to think that the majority will be receiving fines/points but the regularity of this has me convinced that there is a 'secret', possibly local knowledge, that gives these drivers the freedom to do 20 MPH above the monitored limit.i seem to spot a lot of young asian females in quite new motors giving itf the beans through these sections......not a care in the world.

Stupidity etc is more than likely the reality.

I'm seeing this more and more, particularly on the M1 near the Woodside Link works.
Funnily enough on that stretch it's not the usual Audi/BMW repmobiles that are the culprits, but loads of filthy work vans full of angry builders or "Considerably richer than you" types in new Range Rovers

Why would it matter if you change lanes? An average of 65 is an average of 65 whether you moved lanes every 3 seconds or not. Probably more likely that 90% of av speed cameras aren't actually on
They have the potential to generate huge revenues and are now digital (negating a lot of the manual admin etc), why would 90% of cameras not be enabled?xRIEx said:
I've heard claims that they will trigger at 90 even when not illuminated - I've not tested that myself, but I have been travelling at, ahem, something over 70mph and had people passing me under the gantries and still no flash; I would estimate that 85 on the clock (depending on car) wouldn't trigger anything, even if they are active in those situations.
I love all of these urban myths, proper pub talk Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
