Its one of those cameras with 2 coloured circles on it. What are they, are they forward facing cameras that zap you as you approach it?

ian_sadler

If it says Truvelo on the side then yes its a forward faceing IR camera.

Hope you've not been done.

Look for the induction loops about 20ft before the unit.

Only GPS will spot these not radar.

Ian

robby

yep, it's digital as well so doesn't need any film and doesnt flash

rob

ScoobyJawa

what are the "induction loops"?

ian_sadler

Robby, it will flash but in the IR spectrum all you would see is the red lens go a bit bright.

Jawa, Induction loops are metal loops sunk in the road before the camera. When your car goes over the loops the iron in the body induces a small electric current, its does the same on the second loop giving time between two fixed points & therefore speed.

As its a totally passive sensor laser & radar detectors won't see it.

Ian

gregh

maybe it's a specs system? Takes your average speed between 2 points, no flash or anything

Rachel666uk

im going to cry......

Rachel666uk

so it gets you as you come towards it, not when your on the other side of the road going away from it?

ian_sadler

Rachel,

Bad news?

Where was it?

Ian

STi wanna Subaru

iTrader: (1)

I hate this whole Big brother thing that is going on in this country. We'll all be driving around concentrating on the speedo instead of the road

Rachel666uk

then i am going to cry

its in Chalfont St. Peter

Where in South Bucks are you?

Rachel666uk

Ive also seen the same type camera in High Wycombe, dont think that one got me

naturbo2000

Just saw the new High Wycombe one on Monday

Sorry to say that the road did need something to keep people down to 30.

Not happy about average speed ones on the open road though - good job we went backroads on Sunday.

shunty

let's hope that you can flash the euro 550 etc up to detect the new cameras then...or is that just wishful thinking. It won't be long before someone invents the detector for these anyway

It's a cat & mouse game, but the mice have much more money & resources thank god

ps for the brain deficient, the mice are the companies who make the detectors

Ooops, do you want a shoulder to cry on

Sorry I'm not helping

Nathan..

ian_sadler

Rachel,

I know the one you mean. Its just after the Grayhound pub as you go from the dual carriage way round the roundabout to single lane.

Its a forward facing Truvelo it was new in last week. There is a chance its not operational yet, maybe

You'll just have to wait 14 days now.

Ian

speedking

Sit down and look here and search for 'truvelo', don't read too much though.

Rachel666uk

Thats the one Ian. They also have tiny radars in front of the cars parked on the left as you approach the roundabout where the lines are, but as there was no camera everyone shoots down there, well i do in me scoob but randomly these little things appear.

Hi Nathan a shoulder would be nice

I cant help it the scoob just wants to go fast, it hates going slow its a bad place really cos youre coming off the rounderbout accelerating

ian_sadler

So you local Rach?

Could be time for South Bucks mini meet

Ian

naturbo2000

Yep - definitately need that mini meet.

Somewhere away from all these speed cameras tho

Good places north of High Wycombe

Rachel666uk

There does seem to be a few of us in CSP, think we could have a CSP all on its own

ian_sadler

And one from Prestwood.

Ian

Rachel666uk

& one from Prestwood is that Wycombe? theres quite a few there too

Rachel666uk

i think this may get moved to the southern forum if we carry on like this

naturbo2000

best bring the subject back to speed cameras then

(More views under "General")

Does anyone know if they got round to doing average speed checks on the M25?

gregh

>> let's hope that you can flash the euro 550

No chance! You need a Geodesy or Origin-i GPS based device to detect the SPECS and other such cameras.

Usual disclaimer re wouldn't do this myself bla bla bla BUT

I have heard that authorities have put no infrastructure in place to forcibly reap their crop of £40's. Basically 90% of people go quietly and send in their money/licences and that for them is a result.
In order for a summons to be effective it has to be served personally i.e. put in your hands. Apparently the remaining 10% are just binned (especially the case when you live outside of the county thats done you).Whether or not you are prepared to sit it out for 6 months until the statute of limitation runs out is up to you.

Nathan L

** HUG **

There you go Rach

mutant_matt

Matt,Are you sure? I ask because I've had a summons before and not "gone quietly" and the fact that it came by post didn't seem to have anything to do with it.

I can't believe that all summons' are sent by post and this is not a "real" summons.......
