Has anyone ever actually been issued points because of these.

Everytime i go through a set i'm constantly being overtaken when doing the speed limit

But gets annoying when cars are doing it lorry style trying to overtake other cars at 1mph more and I can't get past

Look down a TV remote, a computer IR thingy or anything like that in the very dark, I assure you you'll see a feint glimer of red light!

Same with the IR sensors on those cameras, when you get to a certain angle with them at night, you can see a red glow around them.

Trust me

I would also like to know this! If I know I'm going through a set I will take my sat nav and drive by the speed that shows, yet I still seem to get people wanting to overtake

they released the stats for the cameras that wer eon the A2 for ages, i didnt speed through them, but didnt stick to 50 , but the stsats had said how many people got point son there license for speeding through them - i dont knwo anyone who had one ! and i know prettymuch everyone didnt do 50. strange.

i dont like the ones on the way down to southampton, they go on for ages!!!, so i stick to 70 just incase, i certainly cant afford 3 points on my license , ile be stuck with the corsa otherwise and no turbo for me ! ahhh
