Average Speed Cameras

[silverfox1]

Axel132132 I had the same thought as you have been using M6 between Birmingham & Wolverhampton last month or so where there are lots of roadworks and average speed cameras in operation. As these guys fly past me I am thinking they know something I don't or they have some sort of romulan cloaking device that hides them from the law, but from reading this thread realise they are probably being prosecuted.

Im not sure how well some do work tbh. A couple yrs back the ones they had on the m3 heading west from the m25, Id used to go 50 through the camera, but then upto 70 inbetween, and the ones from luton north on the m1, Id go upto milton keynes and back doing the same thing (maybe not as high as 70). But since hearing of the guy at our firm getting done Ive only cruised through (and thats all I mostly do as it saves me quite alot of fuel over the month by not going much over 60mph
)

not sure if there back on yet,but this will be the same all over the country,i still wouldnt advise speeding past one,not unless you dont ned your van for work,its all a game of chance,id say the ones on the busiest roads around the uk will be live as they are the money makers...

Agree with the caution but you wouldn't loose your licence if you accumulate too many points if your vehicle is your means to your income and i dont mean driving to work and back, people are out there with 20+ active points on their licence but repeat offenses will have the courts disregarding your career if you push your luck cos you think you cant loose your licence.

if you have mr loophole as your lawyer maybe,but the average working man will get banned,a quick read of any local paper will show that,but the multi millionaire footballers walk away with just a fine because they need a car to get to training to work 2 hours a day...

I will also agree with the mister loophole senerio but didnt work for his last client as the goverment is getting wise to his loopholes... what i was saying is if you house, family and everything else rely on your use of a vehicle to pay its way the court cant take your licence away, you are in theory only allowed 12points but i know of reports of people with many points over this and my sources are very close to the judicial system if it is deemed to be just an inconvenience to your life then the ban will be upheld but a local bloke topped 30points in bradford because of this regulation before a public outcry that made sure he was punished like any other hence he now been funded by us the tax payer for his house, kids and his lack of respect for any hard worker or road user makes my urine itch!!!!
Bradford has the highest uninsured drivers in the uk and because im under the post code it adds 200 quid to car insurance even though im in kirklees .... yes a sore point

I think your missing my angle here yes drink and drive get a ban but im on about as the thread original discussion is about speeding, you can accumulate points over the ban limit of 12 but if say your a taxi driver or a delivery driver you can in some cases appeal and avoid a ban if the consequences of a ban will see a large consequences to your family... its not a theory it actually happens...

My sources are family related and for the record my sister is a motorway traffic cop, my bro in law is armed response and my uncle is a judge but as i said i was only commenting on the speeding accumulative points so dosn't apply to other point penalties and driving offenses.

my sauces are hp,but id still get banned if i travelled the streets at 100mph,mortgage or not.

darkwood.. you will find as part of the private hire licence agreement and for hire and reward insurance purposes any driver with over 6 point s n license automatically become illegible to continue on the insurance and depending on the private hire licencing authority have to surrender the PH license...!

Ill happily stand corrected on that note it was a random guess to who would qualify in my explanation but clearly i made a miscall on that one.
