    Hi Everyone,

    Just trying to figure out whether the new speed cameras are giving any leverage with speeding eg 10%.

    Would be interesting to see if anyone here has been caught (and willing to tell ;)) by the new cameras yet and how far over the limit you were driving? Would be interesting to see.

    Have seen them 3 times already but on each occasion been within the legal limit.

    I was done doing 63km/h in a 50km/h on the Firhouse road.

    Although my friend's father was also done on the same road doing 54km/h.

    Thieving bastards.

    With a private firm doing this, they'll be 0%.
