Can the cameras catch you when the screens are blank, it was about 22:15 and the cameras were completely off (or appeared to be) 1 flashed me and then about 10 miles later another one did. Can they still get you? Has anybody been done when they appear to be off?
-
I just don't speed anywhere with variable limits in place.
-
Depends where you were. They have a couple of cameras permanently set to 70mph between junctions 5 and 6. So if there is no speed limit on the gantry the camera is still set to 70mph. I think thats the only place on m25. The only other place with them is on m1 next to junction 27.

The ones near 5 and 6 are the "sneaky" grey ones on the side of the gantry. They are now round near the A10 junction both ways and now there's one either way between j28 & j29 (a12 & a127) and there's the frame work for them gone up on a gantry in each direction between j2 & j3 (a2 & m20).
The sneaky ones are always on at 70mph and are variable, the gantry ones are only on when there's a limit shown on the sign

It's the dreaded wait now lol
-
Yeah I was on jct 14 or 15 and dreaded is right, i was being a tit and I deserve what I get to be fair. Still want to get away with it though obviously :laugh:

How fast?
-
Is it 2 weeks or 3 they have to send you the notice?
@rich83 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=709) too fast mate, don't want to say but if I'm caught my licence is gone really. I was on the way home from Amsterdam and in a hurry to get back.

I think they have aces months to send it to you in reality I know m25 have new grey cameras installed which are not visible and been all over the news and papers and they are set to 70 + 10%

If it's the gantry cameras then you'll be fine. :happy2:

I really hope you're correct mate, I haven't heard of any Grey cameras anywhere on the stretch I was on. This scare has already taught me a lesson tbh.

I don't know a single person who has ever had a fine/points from any so called variable speed limit camera yet I know plenty who have been caught by hand held cameras and the darlec type ones by the side of the roads. I have been through many so called variable limit camera spots late at night going above the limit at that time and never had a letter. This was before I new what they were
-
That's the thing I bomb down there regularly and have never had an issue, its only because they flashed I was worried.
