Does anyone know what type and where ( I'm presuming they have them ) the speed cameras are located in the dartford tunnel. i've had a look on various web sites but can't find anything.
I got maginally over enthusiastic with the noise of the bike reverberating around the tunnel.
cheers folks

None in the Dartford Tunnel or on the Bridge,. as yet. Limehouse Link though,.. as Bailey said, ... those little buggers are very keen.

No speed cameras pre se, but flow monitors which do check speed, or rather congestion are there. I do not know if these are used to monitor keen drivers. These are all around the M25 too. And I know of a Porsche that didnt get a letter despite the 95 - 100 mph he was doing.

thank you chums, having done my research i do not believe speed cameras are in the dartford tunnel.
my 'exerberence' all stemed from having seen the WSB a brands hatch and having driven a car back throught the btunnel and heard the boys revvin their engines i guess i succumbed to that auio heaven. it is great , but it was also a lapse on my behalf in terms of points per license. my error adimttady but totally safe.
I would have hated tp get points. I'm not reckless, but sometimes feel more should be taken into consideration before dishing out points to licences. There are a tremendous ammount of car drivers who are more dangerous due to total lack of general awareness and laws of the road, than i am having an occasional blast on my bike. i am always 100% focused of potental dangers and feel gauled by receiving such a potentially damaging ban.
speed cameras? do they want to stop people speeding, or catch them doing it. I would suggest the latter. surely speed 'prevention' measures is required.
after all, having caught XXXX million people speeding, have they really slowed traffic down? I think not.
I DO agree with speed camers in te right place, but these cunts with their deliberatly hidden mobile speed camera's should be shot!!! the wankers. I live in essex and they are a bunch of cunts
