Discussion

Another question about VSL to which I've never gotten a satisfactory answer: if the purpose is to aid traffic flow on the motorway then why do they have VSL signs, complete with cameras and markings, on the exit slip roads?
That is to show that drivers exiting the motorway are no longer under the direction of the variable speed limit.There, that wasn't difficult was it?

82 is over 3mph+10%?
So what?The only reason the 70mph limit wasn't scrapped long ago is that nobody in government has had the political will to do so.
Maybe the politicians who proposed the move to 80mph NSL on the motorways were advised better that you have been.

You know perectly well they were scared off by the likes of BRAKE.What drives you to keep coming back here, where everybody knows who you are, and making an idiot of yourself?

I was actually coming in here specifically because I have just had a NIP through for 82 mph in that exact section at 4:15am! (on the way to Bristol Airport) Did not expect them to be on since the variable speed limit was off
How can anybody claim it has anything to do with Safety!

; how to choose between using XXX Constabulary or XXX Safety Camera Partnership headed paper, for those "difficult" letters to the public when leading the XXX Safety Camera Partnership... 
The Peter Principle kicked in soon after

I think the reality will be as more and more of our Motorway network becomes 'managed/smart' motorway, then you'd have to be an idiot to not expect them (now they have the tech and means to do it) to enforce the speed limit. Yes even the 70 mph one.
I don't like it, and i'm pretty sure no one else here on PH will either, that won't stop it from happening though.
I fully expect in the not too distant future to see lots of 'OMG I got done doing 75 on the motorway!' threads.
Our free range days are over, at least we had fun before that happened unlike our kids, who probably won't even be able to drive if the car self driving thing comes to fruition.
You're probably right, but what a horrible, depressing thought.I don't like it, and i'm pretty sure no one else here on PH will either, that won't stop it from happening though.

I'd not be surprised if people started obscuring/removing their plates. Or bothered.

Not sure why I would make that up, not the best picture to avoid taking picture of Home Address but here you go4:14 westbound 82mph what a ridiculous waste of money.

I went through the M5 Southbound at Almonsbury stretch about a month back early in the morning and saw a double flash from the opposite carriageway, but it was not from the overhead gantry cameras but from a camera situated on the support tower to the left of the motorway.
None of the overhead cameras flashed....whereas this one did....
