Average Speed Cameras

if for example you went through a 40 zone at 38 but between the last 2 cameras you crept up tp say 44 just for a cpl of mins then got back to 40 would you be ok ?

Over the years I’ve run through loads of a.s.c over the limit purely by forgetting there there( normally early hours and I’m tired), I’ve never had a ticket yet and a regular cammera I did this on was a s/c 40 mph limit and I was on the limiter ,56 ish,so I’d not worry,the chances are about.00000001%

Thing is can the ANPR system be used identity the type of vehicle, unlike some fixed cameras?

They could easily do that. They are linked to a national database which pulls al the vehicle information.

So it could have a database entry for the type of vehicle and from there is could also be programmed to check the speed limit for that vehicle type and then run a command to compare the recorded speed with the speed limit for the vehicle.

Then it could either return a clean recording I.e under the limit or it could flag it and return an overspend verdict.

The programming for something like that would be extremely easy to write.

I don’t know if it is like that in reality. It would defiantly be possible though.
