Anyone else notice there seams to be a new thing with councils improving road layouts and then adding these Average speed cameras.

In heavy traffic situations you can almost ignore them, you slow down quicker than you accelerate so your average will nearly always be below the average limit even exceeding it by 20mph for short periods. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Bad news for motorcyclists is that all the new ones are rear facing. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Brother in law is turning dummy ones out through his engineering company in the uk. Having a job keeping up with demand from UK councils. They look identical to the pukka ones, and he has no idea where they are being installed! Gives him a good income though! 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.

Now got them between Beverley/Hull/York too - the village I live in doesn't though - just flashing 30 signs - the cars keep them on permanently and nobody takes any notice

I think those speed warnings that show you your actual speed followed by a green smiley face or a red sad face, actually encourages some elements to go for a high speed thus completely defeating the purpose of them! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Some of us though prefer not to speed around built up areas, so a polite (even slightly humorous) warning that our speed might be creeping up is appreciated. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

I stick to limits in towns, I even circumnavigate mini roundabouts, just for the fun of watching some idiot try and undertake as they ignore the white blob and cut across.

I'm finding driving not enjoyable any more to be honest.
