....I respect them in roadworks environments but otherwise they are horrible nasty Big Brother devices  :fighting:

They wouldn't spend the money putting them up, Jay, unless they earned money.

yep, true...

to be honest, the average speed cameras are the ones that get the most respect from me to be honest. But its just strange how you never hear of anyone to be ticketed?

Jeremy Clarkson had the best idea with these. Sit on the hard shoulder for 5 minutes and then fly through them at whatever speed you like  :laugh: :happy2:

Yeah, great - And then get pulled for stopping on the hard shoulder (if you even can) for no good reason.

Lol, but they will do you for the speed you shoot through the single camera at.  My mate got done twice by these cameras so they certainly catch people

i always worry about them catching "one of my speed readings" you just know if you average 50mph but went thru one at 85, they'd do you! and quite rightly
