"Nope all the way on new smart motorway Cameras are on hard shoulder under gantrys"
Yep. It's those evil little buggers you have to watch out for. And the system is looking to be rolled out across the UK's motorway network in the next decade or two... |

Does that mean you were 4 mile over the limit?
Variable speed one got me last year, hadn’t noticed that big 50 sign 
Prefer A1 to M1, less roadworks less cameras. |

The cameras are to the side of the gantrys on the support off the hard shoulder. Yellow boxes. They now work 24/7 no matter whaT the speed limit is set to. Over the past year they have never really activated unless you were close to 80 and even then they were only on intermittently. Now on full time |

was also under the impression theres a 10% lenency for accuracy problems and car speedos not being accurate
youll notive if your speedo says 70 your sat nav which is probably more accurate will be showing a lesser speed
ie 70 =77
50 = 55
etc etc
worth appealing ? |

"my sat nav gives me a beep beep warning when approaching a camera
main reason i have one."
Mine too but at 74 I didn’t think it would flash me and that’s why it’s catching so many out at the moment |

wasnt exactly a law breaking dangerous speed !!!
i also thought one was allowed to speed up briefly to overtake for example before pulling back in safely and returning to 70 speed |

They have apparently gone tough on this section I can see things kicking off in the news as I’ve seen the cameras flashing constantly especially today |

I wouldn't mention the dash cam, if it shows you at 74, because you will just convict yourself..
The 10% leeway is to allow for an error with your Speedo, so you need to say that your Speedo said you were doing 70.  |

"They aren’t new, they were up and running last Easter. 7am on Easter monday the M1 empty and they had a 50mph speed limit on "
The cameras aren’t new but the the way they now operate is. They were originally intermittent in how they were used but now the are active 24/7 since Monday |

I know from experience where South Yorkshire police are concerned they rule the roost. If you do want to fight it you’d need stats and test results from your car manufacturer and that would be more expensive than the fine |

It’s a sad day for the development of our species when people are surprised they got flashed when going too fast through a speed camera.
In other news: putting your fingers in boiling water hurts. |

Because you're disputing the fact that you were speeding? If you say you were doing 74mph, there is no dispute. You are speeding, so convicting yourself. |
