tzijlstra Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yep, its a variable speed camera. Loads of them along the smart motorway and they're only active when the sign above them is illuminated. My wife pointed out that some people had been had been "claiming" that they're on all the time but that's utter poppycock. No, they are the yellow ones. These are actually concealed (more or less) and are only active on one spot. ---------- Post added 04-05-2016 at 22:41 ---------- They are stelth cameras https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=stealth+speed+cameras&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=915&tbm=isch&imgil=MsYK2_Lzffi2FM%253A%253BKv2eT_gNcrk_BM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.planyourcar.com%25252Fblog%25252Fbeware-new-stealth-speed-cameras-motorways%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=MsYK2_Lzffi2FM%253A%252CKv2eT_gNcrk_BM%252C_&usg=__CXUfeYOtkl4pj9-1Zi5XfdyXgTs%3D&ved=0ahUKEwi-kfLJqsHMAhUICsAKHfrpDGkQyjcILQ&ei=XWUqV_7uOIiUgAb607PIBg#imgrc=MsYK2_Lzffi2FM%3A Correct, those are the ones. Very common in the Netherlands, not so common here which is why I thought I'd make people aware. I haven't been caught out as I usually don't speed, but I am sure that in the future, had I not known about them, they would have resulted in a fine and points. Regarding all the 'if you don't speed you don't get caught' posts - I hope you stay in the inner three lanes, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopman Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Warning!!! The main Barclays Bank also has cctv cameras, please be careful if you are considering a robbery. Heads up! I understand some supermarkets have cctv as well, so keep the speed down with those trolleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd-jobs Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Dont speed and there's no problem ! ..“One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating and repeating the very very obvious.” Edited May 5, 2016 by Odd-jobs I'm trying to cut down my levels of biting sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 There is a possibility that it is capturing uninsured / invalid MOT cars as to the reason they aren't bright yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 No restrictions? Last time I checked the restriction was a max speed of 70mph. So you can drive at 79mph before you get a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 85mph is the rumour that always seems to be knocking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
