Incidentally, a manager circulated an email at work directly before Christmas, warning of changes to speed camera settings on the M1, down to 70mph.
It took less than a minute with Google to find a statement from Highways England, that they knew nothing of such changes. I suspect that most, probably all, of the above figures that deviate from +10% and comments about changes are yet more internet Chinese whispers and folklore.
Be logical for once - if cameras were set to 70mph, and everyone, assuming no cruise control, stuck to 70mph, how many prosecutions would there be for 70.5, 71mph? How much data to sort? Or are people suggesting that anything below, say, 72mph would be ignored?
ACPO must have a website, surely?
