average speed cameras

[joemc]

Seem to have noticed every time i go on the m1 and sit at 50, every tom, dick and harry are over taking me, even lorries! Whether im in my car, on the bike or in works van. At first i thought my speedo was out but it cant be the case on all 3. Are they just a gimmick and dont actually work? Anyone been caught out by these? Baffles me!

Check your speedo against a gps! You will find your speedo reads around 10% higher than your actual speed.

I have heard a couple of reasons why, one is to prevent lible actions against car manufacturers over speeding tickets!

I get this feeling on the A406 & A40 sometimes. I get cars whizzing past me at 60-70 in those 40-50 zones and I'm there like da fuq :S

The A13 ASCs didn't seem to be enforced for ages after fitment, then I noticed cases start appearing on Pepipoo website. I still see cars doing 70 plus (50 limit) and just assume they have pinched the car so don't care.

The alarming rise in rear facing average speed cameras has meant having to grind through miles of road works at the same speed as the cars on my bike, which is a royal pain.

M1 has average speed cameras? I thought they were myself but then checked after and they're standard ones.

Yeah around sheffield, where they seem to have been doing roadworks for years. I wonder if they even work and what the limit of average speed of travelling through the 2 cameras is set at?

My daughter got done a while back on the M4 going through roadworks in the middle of the night at 74. So if they do work, they don't get turned off when no one is there.

You see quiet often on a lot of ASC roads plates have mysteriously 'fallen off' or in the case of most of the vans coming up the A9 appear to have cow shit smeared all over them. Funny that.
