does any one know if a average speed check camera can get bikes i was out my bike the other day i didnt think about it went thnough the cameras at 60 witch was fine but then got carried away and slowed at the next one any body know any thing about them???

So... you're not worried about doing 60 through the camera, but you are worried about doing less than that?
Am I the only one in the befuddled corner?

specs are front facing iirc.

Yeah they are front facing, but they are starting to have one facing forward and one of them rear facing too, at least the ones near me are anyway.

Also, you cant speed up in between these cameras and not get caught, they are average speed cameras, so they measure your average speed over a fixed distance. Soon as you pass through the first SPECS camera you numberplate goes on a data base, then when you pass through the next one itll get your plate again and compare the time its taken to travel from camera number one to camera number two, which is a fixed distance, and can therefore calculate your average speed.

I wouldnt worry about it, most are forward facing but you could go back and see if there are any rear facing to help you make ya mind up.

They've got these on the M42, fucking cunts.

and the m6 too

specs are forward facing, but i have seen a rear faced one too

worst case its 3points a £60 fine mate, take it like a man

It SAYS they have them around the Donnington stretch, but I've never seen them... they could be mobile...

Word is, with these average speed cameras, the way to fool them is to change lanes.

i did the length of the M42 pinned flat out whilst trying to diagnose a fuel starvation issue .. never got a ticket, so i guess they are forward facing

M25 is the worst with variable speedlimits and all rear facing camaras :smt013

If you mean Donington there aren't any. Oh and of course that's the A42, not the M42.

[edited to add: there were some on that end of the '42 when they were doing roadworks. But they're gone now.]

Millions of the things around Nottingham and out towards Grantham though.

And as ever, the "word" is an urban myth. Try this at your peril.

LOL thats 1 of them things aint it. whos first to try it lol.
i think you could get away if you get right up the butt of the car in front before the cams however theres always that chance that they got you anyway.
thats a thought thoe you could hide behind an 18wheeler.

Yeah - couldn't remember if the signs were on the M42 or the A42... Something about 'speed time trial' zone. Even that wording is a bit sneaky, if you ask me! It just makes me think of the Isle Of Mann!

What I have heard of happening on the stretch of M42 with the overhead cameras and temporary speed limits, if someone is really taking the piss the people in the control room can activate three or four cameras in a row, so you'll be losing your license.
