So you are going through and average speed camera zone......
Discussion
Doggedly stuck at 50 mph (or whatever limit) with everybody else crawling along, wondering what you can get away with and whether switching lanes and lurking behind lorries will work, and then, there is always that one car that goes steaming through 20 or 30 mph faster !
Who are these people ? do they wonder why everybody is going so slow, do they know something we dont ? do they get lots of post from the Central Ticketing Office ?
M60 a few days ago, in the long and tedious 50 mph section and a girl in a new looking Audi A1 goes through a good deal faster than anyone else, then a scratty old Zafira.
What is going on ?

For the mobile works cameras i have used the tactic of switching lanes (otherwise known as lane discipline!) in combination with timing passing cameras whilst being hidden by an HGV. I've been doing it for years and there's never been a consequence.
I'm not quite sure how they work out the fines, but i've still always kept it to 70mph so was wondering if they only went after people doing silly speeds. Bear in mind most people will do 50mph by their speedo when you can be doing 58mph without a conventional speed camera flashing at you.
Always makes me laugh when people brake for averaged speed cameras - remarkably common!
I got caught out by them a few years back when they were still fairly new, a section on the M60 near Bredbury had been seventy for years, it was dropped down to 50 and covered with average speed cameras, I got a NIP for 74 in a 50 I'm not quite sure how they work out the fines, but i've still always kept it to 70mph so was wondering if they only went after people doing silly speeds.

three points and sixty quid fine, another 2 mph and it would have been six points, the road was very quiet and as such there were no cars doing 50 mph to make me feel like I was doing something wrong, serves me right of course as it was well signposted.Rangeroverover said:

At night if the entry point and exit point are not highly lit I'm told it means they aren't active, not sure if that means only active daytime or not active at allWho are these people ? do they wonder why everybody is going so slow, do they know something we dont ? do they get lots of post from the Central Ticketing Office ?
