M62 average camera query

Recommended Posts

Yes but the reasons dont make sence due to most accidents NOT being caused by speeders!

 

Of course if people were allowed to drive as fast as they wanted then most accidents would be caused by speeding drivers. The fact that they're not shows that speed restrictions work.

 

Sorry to have to point out the bleeding obvious.

Lol

 

Heres the bleeding obvious...

 

Everyone speeds so the restrictions dont actually work at all,Only rubbish drivers think they serve any purpose,the rest use common sense!!

 

Thats why camera vans are so lucrative but they dont actually make the roads safer,they actually make people like you have bad attitude which causes far more accidents than a few mph ever did.

 

heres a few facts!!

Pure and simple, don't speed, the speed limits are there for a reason.

 

You never drifted over the speed limit then ?

Given the context of the thread, I assume by "drifted over" you mean "exceeded by going almost double in a conscious attempt to outrun another driver"?

The M62 variable speed limit cameras are GATSO type, so they do flash. They're not to be confused with the average speed cameras mounted on yellow poles which are often used in roadworks. They don't flash.

 

I expect similar GATSO cameras will be operating on the M1 when the 'smart motorway' improvements are complete.

No sign was showing. We shall see in a few days if I get a letter through post

 

If it was a (friend ) who got flashed why would you be getting a letter ?

Well, duh! Obviously the "friend" doesn't have a telephone or an email account, and is not local (unless I missed the bit where the M62 diverts through Sheffield, hence it being in Sheffield discussions) so will write to the OP to complain bitterly about the harsh judgement.

 

 

I thought that would have been obvious :hihi:

Is speeding really worth it these days? They are covering all the main motorways with average speed cameras or the overhead regular cameras. It would not be so bad of it was just a fine and points, but now your insurance company uses the points to rob you blind for several years.

Motorists are seen purely as cash cows for local authorities , the plod and the government to fleece and rob at every opportunity . Their obsession with slowing motorists down to crawling pace and sticking their revenue collecting cameras everywhere is simply financially motivated.

I am puzzled as to how McWhirter & co missed you out of the records books. If you indeed "crawled" at 70mph you must have been the fastest baby known to man
