New digital speed cameras will trap more M25 motorists
Evening Standard20.02.08
The number of drivers fined for speeding on the M25 is set to soar after the launch of new cameras.
Old film cameras on the western section near Heathrow have been replaced with digital models that - unlike the old film cameras - are capable of catching thousands of speeding motorists a minute. "It's been well known for years that drivers were unlikely to be caught here unless they were well over the limit," said AA president Edmund King. "But all this seems likely to change now."
A Highways Agency spokesman said: "We are currently upgrading the cameras on the M25 between junction 10 and junction 16."

Speeding is NOT a CRIMINAL offence, however it is an offence.
Speed limits were introduced when cars had poor safety, handling & design. 40 years on, cars are less dangerous at higher speeds and are a lot safer. Not only that, but it is more dangerous to worry about your speed all the time, than it is to just "drive".

We all know this is nothing to do with safety but another form of tax.
