I did not turn on my road angel and completely forgot about the average speed camera's on the M25 just before JC 28. It was very very dark and the motorway lighting was out. Without a flash am i still likely to be done even though i was only doing just over 80 ?

Average speed cameras (ie SPECS / SVDD) do not 'flash' - they are InfraRed equipped..

On TopGear jezza mentioned a scam they do, where they reduce speed limits even when there is no need to, so that the cameras become active and catch more people

This seems to imply that the cameras aren't always on. But i really cant imaagine that being the case.

Those SPECS catch an awful lot of people per hour.
