Average speed cameras

[TechJinx]

I am LOVING the roll out of these bad boys around the motorway network.

Is there anything more satisfying than continuing at a sensible motorway speed whilst everyone else is forced to grind along at 50.



just thought I'd share

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

You like speed cameras..

You know for a fact that they don't work on bikes?

They find you, punish you in the media and yes, it makes it worthwhile for them as it puts the shitters up everyone else that thinks that they can disregard traffic laws as you do.

Oh and by the way, shoooting through the same speed traffic will only highlight your speeding to any officer marked or unmarked on your travels.

We have had average speed cameras in Northampton for ages and every day i would go 70-80 in the 50 - never got flashed once, i dont think they pick up on bikes because they are smaller maybe? unlike the normal speed cameras that give you a satisfying purple flash

Its true, they catch you in the end,

My old village as a speed camera at the bottom of the hill, i would go down the hill on the way to work 40-50 and cause it to flash and on my way home from work i would go 30 up the hill to stop it flashing me.... did this for about a month then one day the turned the camera around - GUTTED got a fine and 3 points

It won't be long before they modify average speed cameras to look at rear number plates, or until they force us all to have front numberplates...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

pretty sure the last set of average speed (specs) cameras i went through on the M1/A1 used a mix of forward and rear facing to catch all road users.

forward facings cameras are different, they use infared flashs

[Stelmer]

Yeah, the forward facing ones use an infra-red flash and there's a piezo strip embedded in the road, just before the 3 lines that sets them off if one goes too fast.

The Specs cameras are just posh anpr cameras hooked up to a computer to work out lots of average speeds. They work in pairs but can also work as a whole throughout the zones.

The 2 lenses each side are really high powered infra-red floodligts meant to illuminate numberplates at night.

If any speeders are found, it's flagged for someone to look at the footage.

According to google...

I'm sure the dedicated motorway CCTV cameras can be used to get the plates of bikes if they really wanted to. Next time you go through roadworks, have a look at all the CCTV cameras.
