I assume that you are refering to the variable speed cameras. These only work when the speed limit is reduced to below 70mph. I have used the M42 and M25 many times when there are no restrictions showing and never received a ticket for going faster (quite a bit faster) than 70mph. Adam

They're rumoured to be set ~95+.

They're rumoured to be set ~95+. I've done the M42 somewhere between 95 and 100mph through the variable speed limit section. Usually at about 4.30am. Adam
From: greensha on 26 Jun 2010 08:46 Thanks for the replies. One of the most frustrating things on the US interstate system is the lack of lane discipline. I can't count the times I have been stuck behind two drivers, side-by-side, both doing the same slow speed on a nearly empty road. It sounds like as long as I stick with the flow, I should be fine.
