So again on average if your speedo says 37mph there is a good chance you get 'away' with it. Any more than that you take your gamble.

    If you've had to speed to go past someone or something and didn't see the camera before doing so, Maybe you shouldn't have overtaken in the first place. As you're clearly not very observant of your surroundings.

    Roe lane is often used as a race track. I have family on Roe lane and I know drivers and bikers who have hit 3 figures down there.

    But daytime speed checks wont stop the midnight racers

    The only way to stop it is to have a 'Black Box' in all vehicles, a personal key to switch the car on and any transgressions can be automatically uploaded to the Insurance company and the Police.
