Most speed cameras haven't flashed for years. On the M25 there are average speed cameras which work with the variable speed sections.Billy_Mix said:
On a similar theme, how long after making a speed camera flash has anybody received the paperwork for the speeding fine/points? How long until I'm in the clear?0 -
Average speed cameras don’t flash, normal speed cameras do, you can see them going off on the other side of the road.Crusty54 said:

Has anyone on here had a ticket for speeding on the M25 from average or flash cameras, say in the last 2 years? I'm often overtaken when doing 70 myself and have possibly contravened average limits but never had a ticket so far.0

I believe that cameras are in operation when there is a reduced limit, unless you’re going like a rocket. A few of the lads where I used to work, have had tickets coming over the bridge.swords_alive said:Has anyone on here had a ticket for speeding on the M25 from average or flash cameras, say in the last 2 years?

One of my colleagues got caught doing 71mph near Clacket Lane, she had to do an online speed awareness course.swords_alive said:Has anyone on here had a ticket for speeding on the M25 from average or flash cameras, say in the last 2 years?

She wouldn’t get a ticket for 71 in a 70, there must have been a speed reduction in force at the time. Normally the cameras are set at the speed shown plus 10% plus 1 mph. This is because car speedometer are not calibrated to that degree of accuracy. In old police cars, they used to have a calibration speedometer as an extra.ME14addick said:

I have twice (2 different cars at 2 different addresses) had a letter from them having forgotten to pay telling me they were letting me off as it was the first time that car had crossed but warning that next time I would be finedBilly_Mix said:
There was some urban B/S of the crossing company exercising leniency with 'first time offenders' but that was nonsense. More likely the ANPR was unclear/faulty or obscured by vehicles changing lanes and obscuring the shot.
this was unprompted, not after getting a fine and appealing it1 -
I did about a year ago. No restriction in place. I hadn't driven there for a while and assumed they weren't working. Now drive it regularly (through Essex) so stick to 75 to 77 and am fineswords_alive said:Has anyone on here had a ticket for speeding on the M25 from average or flash cameras, say in the last 2 years?

But there is a long stretch of 50 herts to Essex...stick to 55 and below for that!2 -
Not the M25, but I got done for speeding on the M23 this year, just after joining it on the way back from Gatwick.0

If the Blackwall Tunnel is going to cost £8 a day return is that not just going to increase the use of Dartford tunnel and make it even worse?
Or will they just price match Dartford Tunnel do you think?

I don't think they'll do that with Dartford, it's 'paid for' and they get so much more volume/revenue than the Blackwall?Swisdom said:If the Blackwall Tunnel is going to cost £8 a day return is that not just going to increase the use of Dartford tunnel and make it even worse?
