As for racing between cameras... I /do/ speed up between cameras, but (say) if I'm in a 50 limit I won't go above 60-65. In a 30 limit I tend to go 33 or thereabouts, after a nearly-nasty incident in a little village somewhere near Stafford (main road turned 90degrees right; I went straight on!!). That said, I will go faster on dual-carriageways unless my forward vision is severely impared. As for m/way cameras - has anyone in this NG recieved a ticket after being photoed on the M25 in the variable-limit section? I remember travelling anti-clockwise one day and seeing literally hundreds of camera-flashes on the opposite carriageway! -- Ade.
