Please drive through a HADEC at a true (GPS) 80mph and let me know how that goes.
A lot of those speed limits on motorways dont have the red ring around them..(often just 4 yellow lights or nothing at all). No red ring means its purely advisory and cannot be inforced. It seems that only about 10 percent of people know that from the looks I get doing 70 on a clear still day with light traffic......when for some inexplicable reason 40 or 50 mph signs are showing. I'm sure sometimes they just forget to turn them off after an incident has been cleared. I stick religiously to the limits in red rings though.....not had any speeding points since 1989...I'd like to keep it that way!
I'm curious to know why being prosecuted for breaking the law, ie. 'speeding', is an unfair process?

Record number of drivers appear in court accused of speeding
A record number of drivers ended up in the dock accused of speeding last year, but drug driving and mobile phone prosecutions fell.
Just use your eyes.
Nope it's an increase in the number of drivers appearing in court in the hope of a roughly 10% chance of being let off, not of court cases.
Based on data from just 20 Police forces though. And as already mentioned, excluding a large network of modern automated motorway cameras.
In terms of fixed penalties issued, in London alone they were expecting to reach 600,000 this year and are "building the capacity to enforce up to one million offences per year":
Across the whole UK, in the year ending December 2021 (the last national data published, AFAIK) 2.4 million FPNs for speeding were issued (up 19 per cent on the previous year), with 96% of those coming from fixed cameras:You’ve been framed! Number of motorists caught speeding in London soars 64%
The number of drivers caught speeding in London has soared by almost two-thirds after police were given high-tech new enforcement cameras.
That ounds like pretty active enforcement to me.
As I've already said, my personal suspicion is that the 70 limit on motorways isn't enforced as rigorously (by cameras or patrols) as lower limits there or on other roads. But I could be wrong.
Why would Gridserve need to use the charger that they're installing or repairing, when there are unused chargers all over the country?I notice that we have some clever thinking from Gridserve who erect and service EV chargers,it seems they are sending out their engineers in electric vans,so they can be sure that they either mend the broken EV charger or they have to walk home.
I agree with this - most people seem to do way more than 20mph when there’s no camera, but through the speed camera if you’re at a true GPS 26mph it’s likely you’ll get flashed?
Nothing I said can be construed as alleging prosecution is "unfair."
Fair enough. I wouldn’t risk it myself.
(Cough) TBH Like anyone else who drives on the M25, M40 and M3, I do it Usually because there's a Vauxhall van, Range Rover, or Audi on my tail
Mike, I don’t dispute for a second that people speed, what I dispute is that they speed purposely through cameras.
Fair enough.
