As said, I know about Waze, but does it show all speed cameras fixed and hand held also average speed cameras?

EDIT
What I was looking for was a user and to say his/hers is good, or not so good etc.

It show fixed and average speed cameras.

As said it's a community app meaning for mobile cameras, accidents it relies on the community to input those.

I think it's very good and has saved my bacon a few times and rerouted when their has been an accident.

My car displays also the speed speed limit and has predictive adaptive cruise control so I guess I'm spoilt

Waze is a lot more accurate on picking speed camera's than google maps, i cant see legally how they would know there's a speed van or gun unless someone reported it on the app.

I prefer the lay out of google maps though.

I'll lend you my car. Its brilliant at detecting them. So good that it does it without me even knowing until a week later when I get a letter about it...

They will very rarely prosecute if you are in a 20mph zone and going below 30mph. Was told this on a speed awareness course and also by a traffic copper - to do with the fact its more open to scrutiny if challenged in a court.

The snoopers and drive smarts are good - as said if you get collared by the police with one they tend to put a flag on your car on the ANPR system so you will start to get pulled more often.

Waze also good & google is getting better but generally only in place for longer term cameras and not mobile ones.

Other advice:-
Dont speed
Dont speed - where you dont know
Go as fast as you want as long as someone is over taking you

I got to 12 points (all in the space of 2 weeks) in 2017 - been a good boy since then.

Yes it's widespread, happening all the time do 24mph and you'll get done.
It's a Khan/Met idea and most of London will become 20mph.
I'm against speeding but on some roads it is difficult to keep to 20mph, your eyes need to be on the road not on the speedo.

Set the speed limiter
Yup it's a pain but it does save the fine especially at 20 as that is really hard to judge

Not funny Mal. A mobile speed camera caught someone doing 57mph in a 6m wide road literall around the corner from me, cars were parked both sides of the roads
I got a Police SNT (Safe Neighbourhood Team) meeting with a councillor and another resident on 22nd March.
We've become a bypass for the A20 so 3 NIMBY councillors, 2 ex MPs plus a number of the local mayor's chums can live in their gentrified area.

Do your self a favour and sign that petition, you never know maybe the unexpected will affect you one day.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
