Blue lights up your harris on average speed cam road

Having thought about this some more, am I correct in assuming that the speed limit is 50MPH and the cameras will enforce this by checking your average speed or is it that the speed limit is an average 50MPH?
The signs suggest the former is true.
In other words (assuming I knew which cameras were paired) I travelled at 30mph for the first half and 70mph for the second half, although I would still have averaged 50mph, by traveling at 70mph for a period, have I still committed an offence?
The speed limit is not related to the cameras. The limit is a maximum of 50mph so you will have committed an offence but you wouldn't get a ticket as all the cameras know is that it took you 72 seconds to cover the mile in between the cameras.The signs suggest the former is true.

Actually his 30/70 antics over a mile, would take 86 secs which is an average speed of 42mph but still illegal

Not if the cameras were closer spaced than one mile intervals.

And that's the problem with trying to cheat the average speed cameras, it only works if you know where the camera pairs are.Actually his 30/70 antics over a mile, would take 86 secs which is an average speed of 42mph but still illegal

Let me clarify
I am probably the highest milage driver on the site doing 95 thousand miles a year in the same day courier game driving UK and Europe
I have done this for 30 years now covering itr of 2 and half million miles in my life time
I have never had this scenario so I'm not expecting any of you to experience this either

And if you can do averages accurately in your head (much harder than you'd think),or have an app that does it for you!
There is also additional risk as I think schemes also ensure they drag some into "the motions" on any fast part of an Average Speed zone on occasion, just to ensure their "will" is done, maintaining that "in the motions group" so they can still be making the road less safe whilst pretending it doesn't exist.
Always be careful, they can have unmarked vehicles now, and state they do it on purpose so you never know if they are there or not.

Do you think I would be driving a van all day if I could spell and pitch the writings of Shakespeare and Wordsworth in an impressive way Or what 'being by a meteorite' means.
In my defence I do speak some Greek and a bit of French!

And it’s all well and good people saying that 57 is the threshold, but 5mph of that is for speedo variance. Its there because some speedos do under read.
An under-reading speedo is illegal.Given manufacturing variation is always possible, that's why they are allowed to over read and not under read.
The only time my mk3 1.8 cavalier read accurately was when I had mk3 gsi 15 inch wheels and tyres which were 8% larger.

I find it hard to believe people actually ask questions like this.The signs suggest the former is true.

What does this sign mean?
Does it mean you can go above 50 MPH part of the time or not?

Get out of the way of an emergency vehicle perhaps?
Had to do that twice yesterday alone on a 3 hour drive.

If you have a live lane to your left indicate and the traffic flow will let you in
There is no need at any point to increase your speed over the limit its dangerous and put you and other road users at risk
If you at the limit and the emergency vehicle cant get past stay on the limit until he can over take you
I have never been in this situation
I will remind you I am one of the highest milage drivers on the site

It's abit different when all 3 lanes are are travelling within a couple of mph of each other as its a 50 limit
