There is a 50 mph average speed reg on the M5 around WsM. I noticed that ALL the cameras face south. So, if you are biking southwards they can get your plate. If you are travelling northwards...they can't.

By the letter of the law though (not that it seems to be applied properly) before fining anyone they should take in to account earnings, assets, etc and make any fine proportionate to that so that no matter what your income the hardship caused by the fine should be equal.
The fine is punishment not revenue generation so why should a poor person be (proportionately to their wealth) punished more than a wealthier person, raising maximum thresholds just evens things up.
Although those on benefits who don't actually earn money still get let off easily because the fine will just be taken out of their weekly beer and fags allowance.....
Rant over....
Virtually every paragraph contains the words "proposed" or "could".
Hype. Non story.
