    M25 Speed cameras

    Does anyone know if the speed cameras on the M25 near Heathrow - M3 are active when there are no variable limits in force? :( I have heard a rumour they are only live when restrictions are in place. I was flashed this weekend by a camera but the lanes were clear from restricted speed limits...

    Undertaking at Speed Cameras

    Here's something I wouldn't mind a few views on this, today I was heading down the A1 (dual carriageway) I was in the inside lane doing just under 70 , there was an Astra in the outside lane doing the same speed just a little in front of me (I had pulled in just earlier as I didn't feel the need...

    Average Speed Cameras

    Driving through the many miles of roadworks on the M1 yesterday at a steady 50 mph (with no-one working; why can't they let traffic through at 70 mph when this is the case) and a thought occurred to me: Does the 10% + 2 mph ACPO guidance apply with average speed cameras?

    Use of mobile speed cameras getting silly on motorways

    It's long been silly in built up areas, but the amount of times I now see police sat on bridges over motorways, trying to catch speeders, is getting really irritating. Long gone are the days when I could rip up the M40 (for example), safe in the knowledge that you never saw police with cameras...

    M6 Toll Road Variable Speed Cameras

    Anyone know if these things are armed, if they are showing nothing (in other words national speed limit applies) Driving back from Knutsford today, noted an awful lot of people on the toll road going rather rapidly, and seemingly ignoring the cameras. If it did pop up with a Red Circle and a...

    SPECS speed cameras and bikes

    Whilst reading the 'maniac biker' thread, I was reminded of something which I have contemplated on a few occasions when crawling through SPECS-controlled stretches of road/motorway. Why do bikes bother to obey the speed limits in these areas? The SPECS camera system is designed purely to catch...

    New poles cameras blue bell and detling hill kent

    Anybody got any idea what the new swooping poles at the bottom and halfway up blue bell and detling hill are for?. Look different to specs posts which tend to go straight up and the top bar is at 90 degrees with the sameras on. Next to each pole is another straight pole with some sort of...

    High Definition Video cameras

    After a bit of umming and arring, I bit the bullet and bought a HD video camera... a Sony HDR-CX11E. (Looks like a nice piece of kit.) I'd like to get some more memory for it and this looks like a potential mine field. 1) It says that the recording media is Memory Stick DUO. Does this restrict...

    Dartford QE2 Bridge speed cameras

    FYI.............. During last week, there were SPECS average speed cameras erected on the QE2 "Dartford" Bridge in Essex/Kent. They start just before the bridge and end before the tolls at the end. If you have driven by and not seen them last week, it's because they are mounted on a road...

I would now like to purchase one, but have a few queries that i thought might be able to be answered by the...

    Speed Cameras Cost Lives...

    ...well, not exactly, but as an article in The Register notes, the action that Swindon have taken to cease funding the Safety Camera Partnership could result in it being "proven" that speed cameras actually cause accidents. This could come about because accidents in the Swindon area have been...

    Swindon ditches speed cameras

    Well not really because the Wiltshire camera partnership will continue perhaps despite Swindon pullling the £400k it coughs up. But now somebody try to tell us it is not really all about money and politicians start bleating about this will "cost lives". Oh wait: they already have...
