Average Speed Cameras

Strider590

There is a BMW/Audi technique for average speed cameras, belt it through the first one, then tailgate someone through the second one to block your front number plate (they always read the front).

There is also a "Strider" technique for stopping this......... Let them get comfy and smug on your rear bumper, feign left very slightly and then rapidly change lanes to the right as you go past the camera

No. This is similar to the myth where if you put your PIN number in backwards at a cash machine, then SWAT are disbursed to protect you.


Otherwise known as bovine excrement.

I should have been "SWATTED" a few thousand times then as I set all my pins to 9119.

No they don't always read from the front. There are some on the M6 and the M4 that read from the rear.

I am not under the influence - simply repeating what I was told.

I have never been caught because I keep within the speed limit.

Then you won't need to make any funny signals then

Don't take advice from people down the pub. Most of what they say is nonsense, or outdated.

You should try playing Golf. I used to enjoy an early Saturday morning round in my late teens, but as I grew up I realised that golf courses are full to bursting with arrogant pr1cks talking complete and utter non-sense (and it's not even alcohol fuelled). In fact I reckon it'd be 10x easier to learn to play to a high standard, if not for all the rubbish "advice" you get out on the course. I miss it sometimes, but I don't miss the people.

That's because too many people want to be the "authority" on a given subject. Unfortunately in pursuit of this, they won't admit when they are wrong, which weakens their credibility once they are found out. Little do they know that admitting their errors would gain them more credibility, not less.
