Average speed cameras ?

(1/5) > >>

Gromitt:
Do these actually work and has anyone on here recieved a fine generated by one ?

I was driving about a month ago in a motorway 50 zone and because I was having a barny with the missus I passed 2 cameras doing about 65mph. Over a month has passed and still no fine notification so it seems I have got away with it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm guilty as charged but it looks as if I have beaten the system.

V8MoneyPit:
Maybe we all have these cameras wrong and they do exercise judgement rather than just handing out inflexible fines..... they saw you getting an earbashing and took pity  :lol:

Mutz:
Yes they do work!!!

And i got a fine, posted out to me; 36 in a 30.

Then was given option pay £60 fine or £70 for "speed awareness" course, with no points on licence ;).

I think you would have heard by now if they was going to send you a fine, i believe they let you know in 2 weeks.

Must admit, thought easy way out of points on licence, but it is very informative and i have been very aware of my speed ever since course; everyone should take this course.

I've always said the training & testing for getting a license should be stricter - people who haven't been affected by an accident caused by speed always think it's a victimless offence.

you can normally tell if they are turned on or not by looking for the red laser beam as you pass underneath and look into the camera. Well, the ones I pass through on a tuesday have the red light on sometimes and not others and they aren't in road works either.
