    Beware of speed cameras on the A1!

    I hate the A1, there's too many cameras.

    Actually that's a good point, load gone up on my way into work just before the Black Cat. Average speed ones. On a Sunday the M1 might not be too bad, during the week I hate it from J14 south.

    Irrelevant I know but I don't get the idea of an average speed camera.

    Speed is an average, how else can it be measured other than as an average based on the distance covered over a certain time?

    It actually works. Rather than just making you slow down where a camera actually is there's numerous cameras spread out over a stretch of road and they measure the time it takes you to get between them, so you can't just speed up after you pass a camera.

    This ^^^

    20 odd miles at 50mph is tediously slow and cumbersome. The A1 is pretty decent since they took out all the roundabouts.

    Not at the moment, getting round Coventry on the A46/A45 after the M69 is a nightmare because of roadworks, even on a Sunday!

    To get from M1 to M40; Take the A43 instead of the M69 and go past Silverstone. There's a McDonalds at a roundabout alongside a BP with M&S Simply Food for a feed before London.
