[Offers] Average Speed Camera - Ticket

[LowKarate]

Have you done a speed awareness course before? they might give you that option that would avoid the penalty points. (rarely more like!)

If they do, then I am informed (by a friend) that it costs £91.

Would be amazed if you didn’t get speed awareness course (as long as you haven’t done one in last 3 years). That’s c4mph above tolerance for most forces. I got one for doing 61 in a 50 on Dartford Bridge a few years back. Found course very worthwhile.

Ty all for the comments - I think lol!

It was the Gatwick 40 mph part, was dong fifty, was wondering if they take the average or just that i was speeding at that time the camera took the image?

Have already done the speed awareness course (twice...ahem!)

Sounds l'll have to take the punishment...

Driving a hot hatch in WORTHING, at 39mph.

Your carefree reckless sort make me sick, string'um up I say, what you need is National Service.

You haven’t come out with that old petrol-heads chestnut of “They should be catching burglars, rather than speeders”.

Why should they when the likes of Smirko can regularly keep them in beer tokens.

What cruise control is best for....none of us can stick to some of these limits. The 50 mph on the M23 is impossible to stick to without it.

I thought that was only available to drivers straying over the limit by a couple of mph.
Not for young tearaways like LI who was seemingly thrashing around Worthing like he's the star of the next Fast & Furious movie.

If you've been caught driving over 10% plus 2mph of the limit, but below 10% plus 9mph, in a 30mph zone, this means anything between 35mph and 42mph. Apparently...

Well they deserve it then. If you know there are cameras and the speed limit, you have to be an idiot to get caught.

I travel up the M27 for home games and they have these 'average speed 50mph restrictions' , but no bugger is actually working, wtf ?

 

[BNthree]

Was curious if they prosecuted for average speed on M23 as whenever I drive through there are always loads of people going a lot faster than the limit.

There’s a 40mph average speed set up on the A217 from Banstead to the M25.
Many have been caught out in the year or so it’s been in operation.
To have this limit on this Road is a bit daft if you ask me.

I reckon you’ll have to accept your punishment on this one fella.

Yes, I crawled along this bit the other day, on my way back from Sutton.

I got away with one because Surrey Police ticketed me but the cameras between the two “average speed” cams meant I was in Berkshire for a good part of the alleged offence.

I asked them for a letter from the Chief Constable of Berkshire authorising Surrey to collect the fine...never heard from them again.

It took my pedantic mind to realise that cross county co-operation would be needed to enforce the ticket. I’m immensely proud that the cameras responsible have now been moved. Cops 0-1 Bevendean Hillbilly.

I make this journey 5 days per week. It is ridiculously painful mostly as drivers have no lane discipline at all since the speed limit introduction came in!

Next year's insurance premium will go up as well.

There’s a 40mph average speed section on the spur between the M23 and Gatwick at the moment.

I thought that was a fifty average speed in those roadworks?

I was in an interesting average speed situation a few years ago when the A23 was being improved between Pease Pottage and Bolney. An 'exceptional load' was keeping northbound traffic down to about 10mph. When it finally turned off half the drivers absolutely floored it. Cars were coming past me at 100. I doubt if their average speed got much beyond 35mph though.

Not strictly true I'm afraid.

When those works were being done there was 10 camera gantry points.

Average speed cameras measure the speed between 2 gantry's. That doesn't mean the first and last ones. You cant go into a 50 limit at 60 and slow down steadily to 40 at the end to average your speed out.

The measurements may be taken between 1-10, or just 1-2, or 4-7.

You just dont know so it's best to slow down at the first gantry and stick to it.

The same applies for people who join from a slip road half way through. They think they can speed as the first gantry didnt clock them through ANPR. If it's for gantry's 9-10 then they're in trouble.....

Just dont take the chance.

No, 40. I drive through there most days. I stick to 54 and 44 on those two rodes using cruise control and regularly get overtaken...

As for the OP, are you famous, rich or know the lawyer that gets the rich and famous off these things? If not, then your done for. Beckham got off because the penalty noticed arrived a day after the 28(?) days they have to inform you, if that helps.
