M25 J5-7 Cameras

Was on the M25 yesterday in the new 4 lane section above.

Saw a car in the oncoming carriageway get flashed despite no sign being lit (cameras to NS of overhead gantry) - what's the score here?

The new HADECS cameras are live and a bit cleverer than previous equipment.

Thanks all, just not cricket is it!

Set the CC at 73 owing to advice here and saw a camera flashing literally everything on the opposite side for a false '50' zone (obstruction when there was none in free flowing traffic).

Can see these cameras being turned on come month end - £100 every 3 seconds is a great little earner!

still not clear on this - are they issuing tickets yet from these?

Was the 50 zone advisory or mandatory?

fking gougers.

I was in the most dangerous/frightening situation I've ever found myself in on the M25 recently... joining anticlockwise at J24 and some absolute tugger driving a brewers (decorating) van trundles down the slip road at 20mph and joins the main carriageway at said speed causing absolute choas... I'm 5 cars behind him, worked out what was about to happen, slowed almost to a stop on the slip road to let them get ahead whereupon some cock in BMW is blaring his horn behind me, then I speed up and joined the motorway only to catch up cars now on the hard shoulder trying to join the M/W at 10mph with two lanes of lorries bearing down at 56.

I'm trying to think what this prat was doing if it wasn't trying to cause a pile up. But at least he wasn't speeding hey.
