Speeding through average speed camera zones - What gives?

I sometimes wonder this, can only assume those doing it are leaving the road before the next turn off, but it doesn't always seem that way. I also notice I am always overtaken by lorries too.
What speed are you doing, most lorries will do 55mph if they can going on what I see.It blows my mind to think that there are drivers out there that either simply don't care about the prospect of getting a fine or even more worryingly just don't understand what the restricted average speed section is all about.
Or more intriguingly, do they really know something that most other drivers don't?

Was it dark? Perhaps they were doing the "can't see infrared light on camera so it's not on" thing.
Lorries sail through on the limiter as its set lower than the prosecution threshold.
Lorries also have more accurate speedos so their 56mph is a "true" 56mph. The 56mph on a car speedo is more likey to be 53mph or so which makes them look like they are taking the piss.
I just sit at an indicated 55 and haven't had trouble.

They could be playing camera roulette.
1. Cameras aren't always active
2. Cameras are operated in pairs. What the pairing is is anyone's guess but they don't need to be consecutive and they don't need to be in the same lane.
Or as mentioned they are:
1. Too brain dead to realise
2. Too distracted to realise.
3. Too wealthy to care
4. Too arrogant to care
5. Too stupid to care.
6. Too arrogant to think they will get caught because they didn't last time.
Choose one (or more).

i see this most times and couldnt give a fig. i just laugh on the inside that at some point these dippers will receive a fine and maybe some points.
i seem to spot a lot of young asian females in quite new motors giving itf the beans through these sections......not a care in the world.
just think to yourself....sod em.
its the black audi a4 estates that piss me off-their drivers "and powerfully built friend" riding shotgun doing 52mph almost pretending to be the traffic cops. could just be my lively imagination playing tricks though.

I'm seeing this more and more, particularly on the M1 near the Woodside Link works.
Funnily enough on that stretch it's not the usual Audi/BMW repmobiles that are the culprits, but loads of filthy work vans full of angry builders or "Considerably richer than you" types in new Range Rovers

Yeah don't get me wrong it does make me laugh to think that the majority will be receiving fines/points but the regularity of this has me convinced that there is a 'secret', possibly local knowledge, that gives these drivers the freedom to do 20 MPH above the monitored limit.i seem to spot a lot of young asian females in quite new motors giving itf the beans through these sections......not a care in the world.

Stupidity etc is more than likely the reality.
