Is that SPECS speed cameras newly put up on the M3 and M4 just outside the M25?

Question

SPECS speed cameras determine your speed between two locations, rather than measuring your speed at a given point.
These speed cameras are a menace. Few (around 10%) road accidents are caused by speed, which means that most speeding motorists are completely safe. It is other activites such as driving too close and not paying attention to potential hazards that are the major causes of accidents.
If the police really cared about road safety, which I am having doubts about, they would put extra patrol cars on the roads to detect dangerous driving, and not concentrate at all solely on speed.
But they don't. Motorists get more and more speeding tickets, accidents happen more, and drivers are delayed by having to drive more slowly than their judgement dictates is sensible.

Manchester: Nothing in your post in any way logically contradicts what I am saying, despite your negative tone.
In addition, how you completely fail to answer any of the points in my post gives me serious concerns as to your ability to correctly judge and assess the safe speed messages from the government and others.

Answer 1

Speed cameras for the sake of speed cameras are most defiantly a menace. No problem with there use in an accident black spot, or outside a school etc, but why have them in a coned off area of road works where there is nobody working?
SPECS cameras are one in a new breed of revenue earners that we poor motorists have to look out for. As if we don't have enough to concentrate on.
Speed does not kill - lack of concentration does. I fully believe that you should not speed, but what is your definition of speeding? I`m old enough to remember when you got pulled over by a copper you had a chance to be boll*cked by him and sent on your way. not just receive a faceless fine through the post.

Answer 2

the speed decrease via those street works is 50 mph managed via common velocity cameras. the position you have to be careful is contained in the variable velocity area the position the decrease is signed contained in the overhead gantries (with a pink circle around the volume) On those sections of the line the cameras are behind some yet no longer all the overhead signs and indicators and those are 'extremely velocity' cameras. If as you're saying you probably did your most suitable to save to the bounds then you definately should be ok

Answer 3

Moan, moan and moan again. You have obviously never seen the results of a high speed crash with fatalities - I have.

The motoring public at large should be shown the graphic details, not the sanitised version on TV adverts so that the results of irresponsible driving would forever be engraved on their minds.
You, as the questioner, have a lot to learn and the juvenile attitude must be pointed out.
Have you ever thought that the Police are already overstretched and the fact that you don't see them as often on the roads is more that they are doing other work, hoping that mechanical aids will teach others, like you, to respect the fact that you have a Driving Licence and are expected to be a responsible motorist.

Answer 4

It may well be SPECS but irrespective it's important to stay within the designated legal limits of where they are placed. This way you'll save a lot of money and aggravation.

In this respect view them as SPECSAVERS!
