  • M8 Specs cameras 21 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    Although I would not in any shape or form try to test my theory out, there is part of me that says I wonder if these cameras are real? Unless you know someone "in the know" then these cameras will do the same job whether they are real or not!
  • Swindon to axe speed cameras? 16 Jul 2008 (Forum)

  • Average speed cameras 5 Aug 2023 (Forum)
    I have recently had 3 speeding notifications through the post and thus 9 points for going through the same average speed camera at 54mph in an average 50mph on a dual car ridgeway. The camera was new and the 3 offences occurred within 1 week of each other so I hadnt known that 54mph average was above the threshold.  I do a lot of motorway driving and was wondering if anyone knew what (if any) the threshold is for these average cameras?
  • Red Light Camera Distance 21 Dec 2021 (Forum)
    Hi, Just looking for some information that I was thinking when driving around today. There is a Grey Box Red Light Camera situated on Park Place Road by the New Theatre Cardiff and a set of lights there consequently. If you go straight ahead, there is another set of light with no Red Light camera; I was wondering would the previous Grey Box camera trigger for the second set of lights which is approximately 121 metres away or would it only trigger for the set of lights that it is closest too?
  • Not a speed-camera thread (much) 21 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    My theory is that they started off with the usual 'flashing from behind' speed cameras and painted the road to go with it. Maybe later they updated the speed cameras to forward-facing ones but didn't repaint the road. I am a bit worried now that the board moderators are going to politely but firmly tell me that speed-camera posts are now banned until further notice and that I should refer to Speed Camera Thread XVII.
  • What kind of camera for car vandalism? 22 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    I have owned several cars and it happens I come back to find that somone has bumped into them. I have had windscreen wiper stolen. I recall a story, where a guy was caught on camera, when he keyed someone's £100,000 Aston Martin.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9BnBXsbkcM I am wondering what sort of camera was used?   
  • Fixed/Mobile Speed Camera overspeed allowances 21 Apr 2017 (Forum)
    What is the actual percentage allowed today for overspeeding when passing a Speed camera no matter whether fixed or mobile. It used to be 10% +2mph of whatever speed limit is in force and then read somewhere that its now 3% of whatever speed limit is in force. So what is followed today by the Police forces and Safety Camera enforcements.
  • any - front & rear facing incar cameras 26 Oct 2015 (Forum)
    advice wanted; Does the tinting on the rear screen & top of windscreeen affect the performance of in car cameras? Does a 'duo' windscreen mounted camera with supposed rear vision cap ability as well, really work effectively to record following traffic? (given that it has a clear field of vision).

  • speed cameras on the A11 Norfolk 22 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7358372.stm Some appalling driving here. Interestingly the two near disasters are caused by the speeding drivers noticing the camera van and panic braking. Perhaps this is a valid argument for actually concealing cameras link posted earlier on Monday http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=62445&m=713354&v=e add further comments there please
