Does he know there are an arse load of speed cameras on the southern
section that are now activated even when the variable limit is at 70?

Time to have another bet with him as to whether he gets any special mail

There is also the toll of course if he continued around.

I don't think that even one of Adam's apprentices would continue the
whole way round the M25 in the wrong direction.

They'd accidentally turn off to Gatwick, or down the M26.

Well we were always going to take different motorways. I used the M40 as it

I use CoPilot SatNav (for Android) and that has a rather handy
nazi-camera database that's updated fairly regularly.

What gets me is the distribution - Tunbridge Wells has about 2 cameras.
Go anywhere near Croydon up the A23 and there are bloody millions of the
things.

And presumably each camera is a seperate offence at 3 points/camera
so after 4 cameras, 12 points, bye bye licence, thats assuming it's
not bye by licence at the first one at 25 mph above the limit...

Having said that "cruse (sic) control at 95" and the M25 doesn't

Maybe for a night time drive, 2 am or something. M25 is well camera-ed though.

IIRC the North Wales police tried that on with someone - the judge said
it was a single offence. I last got caught at 96 by a car rather than
camera around 8 years ago on the M5 south. It was the standard 3 points
and £60. I suspect they were being kind as I'd just got the thing and
was wondering how fast it would comfortably go. Over 100 is a ban, I
believe.

Having once spent over 8 hours doing A3 to A1 (where I gave up) and
back, I agree.

A friend of mine was caught after coming off the motorway and the
officers told him that on the motorway they'd been doing 120 and he had
been pulling away!

They were actually quite understanding when they heard that he'd had a
phonecall from his mother and she thought that someone had broken in and
was still in the house. They still did him, but only for 96, so no ban.

Who needs 4 cameras?

I already have 6 points on my licence.

The variables on the M62 will also flash at 70+ (79? - 70 +10% +2) even
when they're not displaying a limit and, apparently, turned off.

The bits of variable speed road I have been on seem to have had
average speed cameras anyway. So you wouldn't see them flash as
they don't.

Several of the new ones are HADECS 3 and they don't flash either.
