[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1394784, member: 3187"] I've enough experience to know the difference between the gas types [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/bad.gif[/IMG] . UK is tough, speed cameras all over the place, including long stretches with average speed cameras. They are talking about using isolated cameras to measure average speed over any route as well as along defined stretches of road. [ Slightly political rant ] [I]Many people believe the cameras are there to raise revenue, the authorities maintain they are purely for safety. Why they think it's safer to do 70 on a crowded motorway in the pouring rain, vehicles spaced by inches rather than yards, but dangerous to do 80 on a dry, clear day with no other traffic, is beyond me. Bring back police patrols like we used to have before cameras. Cameras pay for themselves many times over, and yes, police cost more and won't raise as much revenue, but do have some discretionary intelligence including looking for the idiot drivers who may well not be speeding.
