Can any one tell me, with complete and independent authority, how these things work? I find it difficult to believe that they are capable of monitoring the average speed of every vehicle that uses a stretch of road on which they are in placed, particularly when a given stretch of road can have around 66,000 cars using it each day (A9 Perth to Inverness in Scotland e.g.).
Cars will change lanes, be obscured by larger vehicles, will stop, will leave the road and re-enter it at various points and to my tiny mind it seems that that would require a massive amount of computing power to keep track of all these vehicles in real time.
Furthermore, I don't know anybody, at all, first OR second hand who has been issued a ticket as a result of exceeding the average speed. Have you been ticketed or do you know someone who has (preferably not anecdotally).
I think there is a fair bit of spin involved with these cameras and would like to know your thoughts? Please don't post me a link to wiki or any government sponsored site or the like, as the chances are that I've already seen them and note, that answers from individuals with a vested interest in them will be scrutinised. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't believe they work the way it is stated they do. What do you think?
