You know the ones, usually seen adorning motorway roadworks, do they actually work? I've heard a few stories surrounding this, but I really wouldnt like to test the theory, but also I've never met anyone caught out either.

Wes,
When you are riding along mate check which way they are facing. If they are front facing you are less likely to get caught for breaking the law lol.
This is because the man hours wasted mean it isn't worth it.
As Dan said, if they are forward facing I wouldn't worry, don't go overly stupid but you should be fine.
As you say, I also have not heard anyone being caught by them but dont want to test it.
If they are forward facing which most of them seem to be how are they gonna catch you?
Saying this implies I do but I definately dont speed through construction zones as it is too easy for a accident to happen
Conehead,
They can catch you by using all the other cameras mounted around the area. I only know this because my mate got caught this way doing 98mph through a 50 average. Needless to say they chased him to ban him!
Never thought they would go to those kinds of efforts to catch someone for speeding when more serious crimes are being committed.
Anyway, I dont need to worry as I never speed.
I'd guess they don't go to the same efforts for someone doing 52.I only know this because my mate got caught this way doing 98mph through a 50 average
I think 48 mph over the limit is a serious crime and it appears they do too.Never thought they would go to those kinds of efforts to catch someone for speeding when more serious crimes are being committed.
What level of speeding do you think is acceptable and who do you think should be persmitted to do it?
Who gets to decide who can do it before it's serious? you?
Why do you have to turn this general chit chat session into an arguement. Maybe you should start a new thread for that. I am not interested in a debate of that nature, if I was I would have been a politician. Also, where in my comments above did I say it was ok to speed. Be nice or dont play.

I wouldn't imagine they would go to the same efforts for someone doing 52, a £60 fine and 3 points for alot of man hours.
Ken: I regularly see cars and bikes come flying past me in these 50 zones, they are there for a reason but if you you hit someone at 50mph they are probably not going to survive anyway.
