I do quite a lot of driving which takes me through a good many areas where average speed cameras operate & I've often wondered if they are actually working or not as I see a lot of drivers going way over the posted limit.
Today I made a conscious effort to note just how many.
Over three contraflows I counted 75 cars overtaking me, and all going much faster than the posted limit (based on how quickly they caught up, overtook and drove away. Two 50mph zones and a 60. On all three occasions I was travelling at the given speed according to my tacho.
So, multiplying this out over the great many places where ASCs are located & we would surely have half the driving population fined by now?
I only saw one driver slow right down as he approached the camera - obviously not aware of the meaning of 'average speed'.
So, anyone been caught or know anyone?
