50 mph average speed limit Newport M4

[Bosun Higgs]

Anyone been done and if so at what speed? There seem to be quite a few cars doing 70 so either the cameras are set high or the drivers are friends with the cps staff.

Anyone know what the cameras are set at?

For that matter, if you did m90 say all along this stretch, would you get a ticket for every camera you passed or would it be one offense?

my cousins son got a 50 speed ticket in post from average speed cams when they were half way tween Newport and Penarth turnoff M4 7 or 8 months ago Edit : 58 mph I think

repeat offender!

your welcome .. hope you havent got caught !..

Dont know about your other question.. but I do remember one on the news about a 18 months ago.

somewhere down south a bloke went 15 miles or so in a hurry through 3 speed cams (not avwerage) on his way to work 3 tickets and on his way back ..... another 3 tickets .. I remember pointing it Out to my son who had just got a ticket during his first 6 months with a licence he never speeds now at all ... he even tells me off when I'v sneaked 1 mph over limit!

I contributed £60 to the heddlu beer fund last year. According to the ticket I was doing 62 mph. There was a long part of the 50mph zone that was a full 3 lanes with no roadworks or obstacles apart from some plastic cones on the hard shoulder. I think that was where they trapped me.
