M25 - Speed Cameras are going Digital

Not sure how true this is - but thought i had better let you guys know.

I have just been informed by a friend who works for Metropolitan Police Service that as from the 15th february 08 all the Speed Cameras in the Variable Speed Limit section of the M25 near Heathrow Airport (JCT 10-15) are going Digital and the activation limit is being lowered.

They are currently the older film type cameras and set at 90mph when the Variable Limit Signs are not in operation. The new digital cameras are going to be set at the normal 10% of the speed limit + 2mph (80mph + and your taking a risk basically) when the signs are not in use i.e national speed limit. I can't confirm the activation limit when the signs are set (variable limits showing) but believe it would b the same 10% + 2mph of the speed shown by the sign at that time.

This has been given to me at work !! i hope this saves a few of you getting points on your licence !!
