Has anyone ever had a speeding fine because of an Average Speed Camera? I know loads of people who've had speeding fines from the usual speed cameras, but no-one who has got one from Average Speed Cameras.

Yes. Someone here has now had two in the past couple of months on the same stretch of road. Moron.

They do work.
Technically I have.....
I had one from the Manchester M6 J22 when they were repairing the viaduct from a couple of years ago.
After the 'intention to prosecute' they sent me the usual 'pay 60 or we'll take you to court' and they never took me to court.
I also got clocked by a roadside camera at 94 and they didnt take me to court for that one either.

Thanks for all your answers. They're obviously not as common as the usual ones. As nearly everybody will have had a fine from one of the usual ones by now.
In my experience of major roadworks, few people go much over the reduced speed limit anyway
theres been one on a Northampton dual carriage way (not roadworks) for quite a few years, caught loads..
lust googled this ! bit of a result..assuming its not an April 1st joke

Don't get too excited Chas. They turned all ours off in Oxfordshire a couple of months ago. They are now going to turn them back on again due to a significant increase in accidents. It didn't last long.

By the way, it isn't 1st April :o)
yes i get quite a few through for our drivers

Thanks for your answers. Chas,It does seem odd that those cameras will be switched off on 1st April, with no reason why.
they may be turning them off but there seems to be a rise in mobile cameras hiding around corners ready to catch you out.
I heard that if you switch lanes between each camera it can't calculate your speed? I.e. move from outside lane when you go past a camera then for the next camera you are in the middle lane etc...?
Question Author
you probably would naturally change lanes between one camera and the next.
