    Default What camera is this?

    Alrite guys,
    I was travelling back from Ikea in Wednesbury on the Junction 9 of M6 and I turned onto J1 of the M5 (i think) and around there there were some gatso lines just after a bridge, but these weren't normal gatso lines as they were to the right hand side of the outside lane only, like right on the central reservation almost.

    As there were no speed camera signs and there usually aren't any on the motorway, and none on the M5 to my knowledge, was it somthing for a mobile camera van to calibrate to? If so my Snooper S3 didn't go off at all so i'm guessing the coppers had somthing better to do than laser me for the camera vans on their saturday morning.

    I was doing 74mph according to my speedo, but cause there were originally 15" wheels, now i've put 17" m3 replicas on it, that would equate to about 84mph. How much out would the speedo be, over 6mph I hope, it's on a December 97 316i

    I kno I should be ok, cause of the speedo should be out by about that or a bit more and the fact that there are no fixed cameras and the laser detector didn't go off, but I do like to check i'm ok, as i've passed my test a few days over 18months ago and i don't particularly want any points with only 6 points to loose for the next 6 months.

    Cheers

    If its the ones I am thinking of, they were put down a few years ago when the M5/M6 junction bridges were having the safety surveys done, but the cameras are not there anymore, but the lines are. Be careful though, further up the M6 are the average speed specs cameras because of the roadworks...

    Excellent post GhettoMoose, I always wondered what some of those were...have some k
    If nature always takes the easiest route, what's easier...?
    The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?

    is there a detector that can warn of all of those (except blue bridge censors etc of course) I don't think road angel can pick up all of them?
