Average speed cameras (in roadworks)
Does anyone know what the tolerance is on these (50MPH)
Also do the same rules apply regarding NIPs etc - 14days etc?

Don't know, But I follow the trucks @ an indicated 55mph
As most car speedometres overread by 3-5mph, whilst HGVs are calibrated
When checking the GPS speed it backs that up too.

I really hope these things work, I have been driving through them on the M1 for 2 months now almost daily and you get so many people just racing through them, it makes you wonder if these people or just plain thick because all the signs are there, you cant beat those one that speed uop between cameras and then brake heavily when they see the next camera, fookin retards.
They would not plumb them in if they didn't work surely ? and they must make a fortune.

As said earlier does anyone know anyone who's been caught by specs cameras?
You'd think with a crowd of "enthusiastic" drivers (except leslie) if anyone was being caught then we'd know about it. I know plenty of people who've been gatsoed (not me though), plenty of people who've been scamera vanned (inc me), but never heard anyone say they've been specced.
Could it all be a huge scam? Can't really believe it as they'd not make money from this one.
The people speeding through without slowing down are the ones who are foreign and not registered in UK or are driving untaxed, uninsured, unregistered cars.
