Alright guys
So earlier I was out in the MX5 and I was going maybe 65ish on a NSL road (yeah, I know I shouldn't have been, but I hold my hands up). This road crosses the M6 motorway, where a camera van was parked. When I saw it (facing it's front end) I slowed down to 60 and passed at this speed. I'd imagine that it was probably monitoring oncoming traffic on the motorway below, but is it likely they'll have got me? Paranoid now.

Thanks

If you were doing 65 ish, then that will likely have been 62 ish unless your 65 was GPS displayed.

On top of that depending on the orientation it will more likely have been covering the motorway.

Switch 'Paranoia' to 'Off', you'll be in the clear.

This, plus switch off the extra paranoia for 5mph over.

Nice one mate, I thought that was probably the case. Now that I think about it, he wasn't positioned particularly well for catching traffic on the road I was on, but perfectly positioned for monitoring the motorway. Cheers

However the 65 was displayed, you are ok. 10%+2 where enforcement starts is 68.

That's unless your 65ish is actually 68+
