Last time I went on the motorway I was doing seventy and the detector started bleeping, so I slowed to 50 and got honked by others who I'd inconvenienced by slowing, and I never even saw the camera it was warning me about.

On Tomtom, when you pass a camera you are asked if it is still there, not many people reply but some do.
Tomtom then okay it (if they get enough updates) and add to system, probably less than 2 hours.

And that's one of the problems ufcdan. In 5th gear the car runs away with you and you can only keep your speed down by constant braking. On the speed awareness course you are taught to change down to probably 3rd when you see the 30 sign so the gears keep the speed down. If you take the advanced driving test it's an automatic fail for using 5th gear in a 30 zone. Similarly 2nd gear may be appropriate in a 20mph area.

Because the speed limit signs I'd already passed along that stretch were 50 mph.

This is the problem, you can never be sure whether you've missed one.

Why do you think so many people get caught, do you think they go through them too fast on purposeCrazy?

You shouldn't be driving Dr C. If you can't see a Fluorescent yellow box suspended 9 feet in the air and are not sure what speed you should be going because you think you've probably missed a speed limit sign then god knows what other signs you have missed.
