Drivin down the road today past birmingham, got caught up in the roadworks - average speed cameras. Has anyone actually ever been nabbed for speeding by average speed cameras??? I'm always doing more than i should, and never a word???

If the average speed cameras near you are the same as the ones on the A1 at Wetherby, don't worry. They are set up to photograph front number plates. That's great for anyone on a bike.

If I had to have speed cameras at all, I'd rather have the average speed one, so at least you won't collect three points for an overtake of a vehcile travelling at, say, 69mph.
Depends as ever on what speed they're actually set at.

Wast there a guy done for taking both hands off the wheel and sticking one finger up on each hand at them? Apparently did him for "Due care and attention". Think they are sometimes monitored, but would guess its hard to catch a bike. I always slow down for them, but if they aint facing backwards, do we need to?

Well if he's daft enough to do that on camera he deserves to get nicked - plank!

I've just done that stretch of road today... I noticed a number of rear facing cameras, which are not the average speed cameras but just for monitoring. There's also some cctv style cameras there.

I'd suggest that although the average cameras can't see your number plate, lots of other stuff can, and if they've got then time synch'ed and you were doing something stupid, they could get you.

As ever, stay within the law and you have nothing to worry about :-)
