Now Steve Firth once commented that they may still work, but at a much higher speed setting than 70mph. ISTR he mentioned 90+ mph.
I certainly know from my travels around the country that they are not set for less than 90mph, which is my usual cruising speed on a quiet motorway.
Yes, I don't travel on the other "Controlled Motorways" very often, but I notice most people obey NSL on them, so I follow suit there.
Mine too, occasionally a bit more naughty than that since going back to a 3.0l and since I travel on that stretch of the M1 3 to 4 days a week I have a vested interest ;-)
Umm .. till ANR plod comes along and makes a fuss of it then its your licence that'll get the blame?. Why didn't you take it up with the garage concerned?..
Are there any?. I'd have thought that a flash going off right in front of a driver was 'agin some regs or other. Never seen one doing that...
Unless there have been changes, number plate offences are subject to fine only, not points.
The Truvelo cameras are forward facing, I seem to think they have infrared flash.
And the chance to speed through some cameras would be gone. And most fixed ANPR cameras pick up the front number plate.
Truvelo, as Andy ponted out. All are forward facing cameras.
Front facing cameras are the prefered choice as they can ID the driver when Chris Huhne is behind the wheel.
Correct.
Used on the A14 through Cambridgeshire, among other places I frequent. It is rumoured that the most common picture found on their films is of a motorcyclist extending his second finger in the time honoured manner while doing well in excess of 100mph. Which is why they're being replaced with normal cameras as quckly as can be afforded.
Any decent motorcyclist would then just do a wheelie at 100mph so that the number plate cannot be seen.
Well fine then;!...
I thought we had those time trial ones that measured your average speed over a fixed distance on the A14?...
No, the A14 definitely has the blue Truvelos, the A52 between Nottingham and Grantham has the SPECS cameras (as well as various routes within Nottingham).
That's where the artfully placed piece of black bin bag comes in, or perhaps half a cat hanging from the front bumper
It doesn't in the bit between Huntingdon and Cambridge...
Fair enough, it's the bit between the M1 and Huntingdon that I use most.
Right its amazing that you can get going alone there fast enough to trigger the cameras anyway..
I do WISH they had a camera that caught lorries tailgating. I saw some the other week that were around 1 to 2 metres apart they might just as well called it a road train;!...
If they get up my bumper then they'll get ever increasing brake light flashes till they learn not to. Deffo not the class of driver they once were;(...
I've put a cheap camera in the back window, and it is amazing how often a tail-gater retreats to a reasonable distance once they have seen it. It can also be used as evidence if required.

Which of those measures carbon emissions?
And the cars electrics might not be built to modern EMC standards and suffer when the 'phone dials out. might only be the stereo that actually suffers but people will complain.

Cmax 1.6 diseasel is =A3300 or less for me and SWMBO. I'm spending what I've saved on the diseasel bit, however. Never again.
MBQ
Why didn't you also ask which of those measures road type?
Google Truvelo.

Unless yo have a trip computer you can soon lose track of where your average speed might be. I suppose if you don't exceed the speed limit then your average speed cannot be greater than the limit. Those with a trip however having been slowed down can then exceed the limit with impunity.
