word, chance of getting caught is very low... unless you are a complete tool who doesn't pay attention... I've been cruising at 160 for more then a year, and only now got my ticket...

The worst speed control is when they work with averages, like in UK or NL.
you pass a sensor array, then 5 miles down the road another one... distance is known, so is the time, that's yer speed... you can't slow down for the camera and speed up again... doesn't work...

The only way i managed to defeat it in Holland, is when there were 2 averages, on 2 different highways... I'de zoom through gate #1-1 , get off the high way, take a shortcut... get on the second highway , and zoom through gate #2-2... skipping 1-2 and 2-1 altogether...

Personally, i think those averages are dangerous... you got folks watching their speedometer so much that they don't pay attention to the road...
