I was travelling to Heathrow yesterday & witness many speed cameras on the motorway & wonder how EXACTLY does the "Average Speed Camera" work ??? How does it differ from the normal speed camera ???

Does the average speed camera flash?
Does it have any sensor underneath it?
Does it rely on the logic of some sort of time duration a certain vehicle HAS TO MAKE to travel from one point to another i.e. it should take NO LESS THAN 5 minutes from point A to point B & hence anyone reaching point B BEFORE 5 minutes must've been speeding ??? If so how exactly does the camera recognise that it's the SAME car ???

I've overheard a conversation of certain dodgy guys in a public transport & wonder if I get to know how much truth there is in their conversation.

Is it really possible to "reset" or perhaps "fiddle" the numbers of "mileage clock" in the car (or any vehicle) ??? If so how exacly could this be achieved ??? Not that I fancy doing it myself but just intrigued to get to know about it.

How illegal would this be seen in different countries, esp. the UK & the USA ???

What are the factors that depend on airlines getting charged for "parking" at certain international airport ???

Which would be the most expensive airport to have any airlines flight parked ???

How much the BAA be charging to airlines like "American Airlines", "Indian Airlines", "Air Canada", etc. for having their planed parked in Heathrow (owned by BAA) ???

Does the charge vary for country to country or would be depend on how often the flight lands in their airport (i.e. once in a week, 2 times a week, etc.) or would it get charged based on the number of hours it get parked at certain airport ???

Along with parking charges, how does/much an airline get charged towards having its plane cleaned, petrol fill-up, baggage handling charge, etc. by the authority of the airport they park their plane in ???

How about the domestic flights parking charge ???

I went to buy a new car yesterday. I have it all picked out, but the color I wanted is being shipped to the store and may not be available until Thursday. None of the paperwork will be done until then. They already have my old car, and I am driving a loner until the new one is in. My birthday is also Thursday, and my tag tax is due. Will there be any problems or late fees since this is all pushed to the day my tax is due?
