Question

Do those "average speed" cameras you see by roadworks actually work?

Answer 1

yup! they sure do.. your just lucky if you go past speeding and they dont flash.. they probably were out of flash or photo space...

Answer 2

Yes.......

But if you drive above 175 kmph........they wont snap......

Cuz these cameras arent that fast.......

Answer 3

yes they sure do,and their way more accurate than i thought they was,i got clocked the other day by one doing 43 in  a 25 ,didn't get a ticket ,but when i looked down i was actually running 43 ,i always thought they was off some,but that one nailed me right on it,they just had it up as a warning luckily,but if a cop had been around i would have got a ticket over it,they do work though,and pretty accurate too,good luck with it.

Answer 4

We have a lot of them up here in Scotland, they dont flash all the time, they just measure your speed and send you a nice fat fine in a week or two

Answer 5

Average speed cameras or SPECS DO work - BUT there was a study into them & their limitations.

Each PAIR of cameras operate independantly in the system. So (according to a recent POLICE admission) if a driver changes lanes between the two ends of the measures zone the system does not track the car correctly.

Other than that they DO work, but the number of people procecuted are VERY low compared to the standard GATSO fixed speed cameras that flash you.

Answer 6

yes, i've been caught twice

Answer 7

yes they do.

Answer 8

The government Loves money .

Answer 9

yes it's the government.

Answer 10

You can go past the first one doing a ton if you like it wont do a thing, it's the next one that grabs you by the short and curly's. Depending on the speed limit, a pre -designated amount of time is determined for how long it would take to get from the first cam to the next doing the maximum speed, this also depends on the distance between the cams. Any vehicle going through the second camera before the allotted time is nicked. A fairly clever tool, because rather than checking speed at an exact point like a gatso, it can monitor your speed over any distance it likes, in theory.
