You do now Mik, cos I have never been done, it's more than my jobs worth. Do a lot of town driving, so there's not much opportunity for speeding, although the Great Harwood camera nearly caught me out when it was first put there, but I noticed it. Have to admit to slightly exceeding the limit on the motorway, but never above 80mph, and there is some leeway with the cameras, most people caught in Lancs are doing 35 or above (knew someone that worked in Lancs with the cameras) They told me that they are set to the speed limit + 10% + 2, so if you are in a 30 zone they will be set at 35 etc. Each county has their own rules, so it differs nationally. Not seen him for 12 months, so don't know if the camera limits have been altered. The only places were the cameras were spot on the limit in Lancs were as you were going through motorway roadworks :-*
