points don't mean prizes!!!

Not really... No.

Originally posted by Charlie I have a cunning trick for this one, it's called a brake pedal, which i apply before crossing the path of the GATSO, works almost every time.

The problem with that is that the cars behind you may not know that you are going to suddenly brake and you could end up causing a huge pile up or having someone plough into the back of you.

Thats the one thing I hate about driving round the M25 near Heathrow you get all the 'rep boys' in their Vectras and Modeos driving like muppets between the gantries and then slamming on their brakes to go past the cameras, often slowing down to 60 in error when the limit is at 70.

Sorry but in certain circumstances the 'spot' cameras are more of a danger than a help. What they need to do is impllement the time and distance cameras.

I don't want to be a killjoy but if you want to drive fast take up motorsport or go to a track day (now I shall get out my zimmer frame and toddle off to get the morning paper).

Do most of you go 60 when towing or just stay at 70 on motorways?

yea my dad just goes on motorway and stick it to 70 in cruise control and just stays at that all the time even for overtaking

edit - bloomin spelling

I can get from my parent's house in Welwyn, Hertfordshire, to my "ghetto" on Hampton Road in Redland in about 2hrs 15mins.

I agree about the braking before the camera thing, my SatNav is kind enough to tell me exactly where they are. Need to try checking the speed off the gps though, didn't realise my speedo would over-read.

Have you guys seen the "average-speed" cameras through the road-works on the M25 around Rickmansworth?
