Robbie Loving   10 #27 Posted February 2, 2016 I remember driving to London once and it was flashing pretty much every car that went through, I was doing around 75mph, so thought I could have been hit. When driving back the next day it was still flashing loads, so think it was just faulty as nothing came through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #30 Posted February 2, 2016 Quite possibly, perhaps that's why many police forces are declining to say whether or not the limit is enforced, because they do so as a when they feel like it (or are short of cash).  Police forces don't get the cash, so that last suggestion is unlikely.

alchresearch   214 #31 Posted February 2, 2016 Police forces are probably declining to comment because the limit is enforced in some areas and not others.  I know its only anecdotal but I know of one motorway where they turn a blind eye to anyone doing around 80mph. (We know its safe if you observe the conditions and be aware of the increased stopping distance - that's why the Government planned to change it)  But then go into Wales and the limit is enforced with an iron fist.

sgtkate   10 #32 Posted February 3, 2016 I got stopped doing 92mph and the copper said I was a bit unlucky as Police policy was not to pull anyone doing less than 90mph if they were driving safely which he said I was. It was around midnight so roads were very quiet. This was Gloucestershire police as I was heading north on the M5. Absolutely gutted as it was a genuine lack of concentration on my speed as I went down a hill. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

satman2222   10 #34 Posted February 19, 2016 The cameras you need to look out for are the ones mounted on extended arms sticking out on the gantries, these are linked in to the new matrix signs and the second the speed is reduced the cameras switch to match.  Either side of M1 Junction 40 and 45 so far.......

geared   309 #35 Posted February 19, 2016 They have them up at Junction 45?? I didn't think the system went up that far??  I thought they were between 39-40 and 40-41 (have I got that right?)  ---------- Post added 19-02-2016 at 10:57 ----------  I thought all speed cameras were supposed to be painted luminous yellow, it was in the news just before xmas wasn't it??
