The not-so Smart M'way cameras are 'always on', either at the NSL or the VSL to the best of my knowledge. I've certainly seen them flash even when the VSL is not operating. |

I drive the M4 roadworks section, J3 to J10, and back, weekly.
There are a high number of drivers who think the Specs are Gatso and brake for them then zoom off after.
There are also a small number who ignore them and I estimate are still doing ~70.
But, the biggest number are doing about 60.
I drive, or rather cruise control drives at true 50 as indicated on my Garmin and Speedtrap Alert and that reads as 53 on my car speedo.
I've often wondered if they are getting fined or whether they know something I don't. _________________ Satnav:

Like you I use cruise at the gps-indicated limit in average zones. I think there is probably the same 10%+2mph allowance of most cam sites but do I really want to prove that theory? |

A lot of truck UK drivers seem to be stuck on their 56mph limiters. So I suspect the 10%+2 is OK |
