They are for a general view of traffic and incidents, not ANPR, also if you know about photography you will know that the more you zoom the lens the smaller the depth of field. The average motorway camera can zoom for half a kilometre, but at that range only a very small amount of the picture will be in sharp focus, certainly not enough for a registration plate.
I well aware of those limitations. The question was rhetorical, because I'm well aware that it is not beyond the wit of man to set-up cameras that can read reg plates, such as the ANPR that are already on motorways. How often do we see the same excuse used, seemingly more often than not.cgauk said:
The only break lights I could see were the 2 out of 3 that were working on the Peugeot..
The OSR brake light is out on the Pug at the beginning. Watch the video to the end, the YouTube vid can be run at 1/4 speed. As the Pug passes across the front of the Dashcammer, watch for the Audi coming back into sight, you can see his brake lights come on.Gad-Westy said:

The crossover mounts the kerb on the rear view.The rest are mostly aggressive and impatient driving by the dcw, bringing him into conflict with other road users.

Busy day - Renault Clio into the barriers at Tower
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jsPaGa_KP8
That's Quarry Corner and the conditions at the weekend were far from ideal, it was heavy rain early on then damp with random patches of standing water for the bulk of the day. By 4pm when that Clio was out there was a defined dry line which if you strayed off then understeering into the barrier is the likely outcome. He was relatively lucky that Castle Combe have added an extra layer of GIANT bubble wrap in front of the tyre wall which hugely reduced the amount of damage sustained. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jsPaGa_KP8
That Clio crash is standard issue at Combe an likely claims a hundred cars a year doing exactly that. It was NOTHING in comparison to the chap who absolutely destroyed in Subaru Impreza after aquaplaning off at Tower and flipping the car into the marshal's watch post!
They don't call the Castle Combe "Action Days" for nothing
