Found this out from the plod:


From the 15th February 08 all the Speed Cameras in the Variable Speed Limit section of the M25 near Heathrow Airport (JCT 10-15) are going Digital and the activation limit is being lowered.

They are currently the older film type cameras and Set at 90mph when the Variable Limit Signs are not in operation.

The new digital cameras are going to be set at the normal 10% 0f the speed limit + 2mph (80mph + and you're taking a risk basically) when the signs are not in use i.e. national speed limit. I can't confirm the activation limit when the signs are set (variable limits showing) but believe it would be the same 10% + 2mph of the speed shown by the sign at that time.

No problem, doubt I could ever get mine up to 80 anyway!!! (unless it was a really really long hill)

I remember when they put them in thay said that they would not be turned on unless a enforcing a speed less than 70.

Nonsense!

We should remember our place in society.
We are worthless scumbags, peasants, a resource, a source of endless money, plebs, workers, disposable, and we deserve all we get for putting up with this sort of treatment.

People should be out there "attending to" all these cameras. I'm amazed any of them last more than an hour after they are installed.

wouldnt we be singing from a different song sheet if some prick in a ferrari crashed into us at 100mph and killed one of our kids??????

speed limits are there for a reason!!!

speed limits are a load of bollocks.. they have the same limit no matter what the road conditions are, no matter how heavy the traffic is, no matter how bad visibility is. if the speed limit is 70 on a foggy icey morning during rush hour then shirley it must be safe to do 70. therefore you should be able to safely travel at 140ish on a clear,warm, quiet sunday afternoon.

if on the other hand its not safe to do over 70 on a clear warm quiet sunday afternoon then there is no way it can be safe to do 70 on yer foggy icey morning during rush hour.

what yer need if a set of varible speed limits such as outside schools knock it down to about 10mph. quiet streches of motorway yer could bang it up to around 100 ish

I like the yank system where they have reduced speed limits outside schools at the start and end of the day. Also they have this all fines are doubled rule as well.
