News: M4 average speed cameras catch 1,200 drivers
The BBC reports that more than 1,200 drivers have been caught speeding through average speed camera controlled road-works on the M4 in Wiltshire in less than two months. The highest speed recorded was 107mph, and this is in road-works!
I continue to be amazed at the number of motorists who seem to be oblivious to SPECS camera zones and make no attempt to slow down as they enter them. There seems to be a widely held belief that they don't work, and they couldn't be more wrong!
A SPECS zone on the M4/M5 near Bristol last year caught 14,000 drivers. There is no way of knowing if these cameras are live or not but, for road-works at least, they are there for obvious safety reasons, to protect construction workers and their equipment. Speeding through road-works is just plain stupid.
Meanwhile, SPECS manufacture Vysionics ITS, has agreed to amend its advertising after a complaint was made to the Advertising Standards Authority. Its claims that "on average reduce KSIs (Killed and Seriously Injured casualties) by more than 70 per cent" could not be proven as there were other factors involved in the reductions.
