Speed Cameras Part 3 - Something you may have seen...

Muggins · June 25, 2011

Thanks to an inconvenient traffic jam I was able to conveniently take these inconvenient pictures.

Now these are on the back of the matrix signs which can change speed limit depending on how they want to manage the traffic. No roadworks, but yet there are cameras.

So are the cameras set to go off to what the matrix sign is displaying? Or set to something else? One changed from 50 to 40 as I went under it. Did I get caught? Was I even speeding. Questions in the game of life, coz that's what it feels like. It's a fight not to get caught FFS. Being criminalised for losing the ''we caught you at our game with our made up rules as we go along.."...

Anyone else seen these, know of these, or have been caught by one of these???

KABOOOOOOOM.

This is proper mans talk.

If you can find a quiet enough time, smash the living sihte out of them, imagine the road closures needed to repair/replace.
Speed cameras are totally bogus, a mate had to take evasive when someone broke down and had a lorry up his tail, so swerved and avoided. 3 points, no excuses. And the number of people I see on mobiles just takes the P155.

A superb practical idea. But the CCTV on the motorway will spot me. It would be a logistical nightmare. We could get the workers who fix them to sabotage them, hence creating more work for themselves.

Devastated here.

Fellow Blue and friend, thus is my matchday money we are talking about here. A few cheeky moves by the cameras could prevent me from standing amongst the faithful.

If it is impossible to get the ones you hate the most, get the ones stranded all on their own. Panther style. Some pissbag road near a school or worse, a college, and axe wound that thing to the scrap yard. No messing about, annihilate it.

I'm in favour of cameras near schools if it means kids can get there safely don't get me wrong.

But cameras! (as detailed) that are not yellow!!! Catching you as you drive under them. Yes there's signs up stating that speed cameras operate in this area, but not 39 round 4 junctions of the M25. No roadworks or anything, and no one knows what the speed limit is FFS! nightmare.

Schools count for about an hour a day, weekdays.

Average speed cameras. Whoever designed them is a genius, and deserves to be shot.

Apparantly if you change lanes whilst going through them they don't work. That's why there's signs saying 'Stay in lane'. Go thru one, change lanes, then go thru another. I'm not saying try it, but if you're worried you went a bit quick thru the first, then do it anyway. Dr Pepper, what's the worst that could happen??

Hahahaha. That would be genius if it worked. I'm not in a hurry to find out if it does though

My Brother is adamant it works and has done it....I wouldn't though. He used to work for a foreign company, and they gave him a temporary foreign company car with european plates. He sped through speed cameras left right and centre in that thing (with me in it as well), they never bothered with the foreign car, never got a ticket.

Those overhead speed cameras are a disgrace, you are spending time looking up instead of ahead, theres going to be some big accidents caused by them.

Camera's in urban area's are fine, motorways and dual carriageways with no pedestrians or dangerous junctions is another.
