First of all, I know speeding is bad, mmkay and I’m not annoyed about getting a ticket so no lectures required. I did the crime, so doing the time 
I got pinged by the gatso outside the showground on the A15 for 47 in the 50 limit. I know it’s 40 for wagons, but I’ve never known the large vehicle trigger speed be set so low before (must snap every coach that goes past)
Be careful out there 
Its the few people like you who ignore speed limits and give the haulage industry a bad name! What if a child had decided to cross the road next to the speed camera!! 40mph you can stop on a 2pence piece, 47mph it’d take you a mile to stop! 
lol.
The one on the a46 heading west bound top Lincoln is a very busy one flashing trucks tanking it down the hill!
47mph is quite high though? For a 40mph limit. Think you’d get away with 44-45? Passing a camera.
Unlucky mate, but ffs, it stands out like a pair of titts strapped to the queens head, you can hardly miss it, and you have a roundabout immediately after going north and just before coming south, did you just ignore it or something ■■

ACPO guidelines are 10% +2
that would make the truck speed of 46
how do you work out it is set very low for a truck?
not having a go or lecturing, just curious as to where you got that bit of your statement from?
got flashed by same one the other week, went through it on the tuesday sat nav speed said 44 no problem, went through the friday at sat nav speed reading 44 flashed me actual speed showing 47 checked there calibration certificate on line…speed awarness course booked for 14th may robbing w£$*ers!!
So for the sake of 4mph you cost yourself all that hassle, and knowingly, you have more money than sense, you do realise that whilst gps speed calculations are accurate they are smoothed on many devices so the speed does not appear to flicker randomly ■■? AlsI very dependant on your gps signal strength ■■
One thing getting nailed by a concealed or unknown camera but to actually drive through it playing the percentage game is just crazy IMHO.
Those on the A15 north of Lincoln (iirc 3 altogether) are set for trucks, and have cameras in them.
i dont wanna come across as a daft wazzock being a newbie etc,but i woudnt have thought there was a setting for cameras for trucks as you state above, so i for one shall stick that in my noggin for future reference, skint enough as it is lol
The way the gatso’s recognise trucks from cars is, if you’re able to look at the road just before the camera, you’ll see where the road has been cut and a wire has been buried there (look for where liquid tar has been poured).
These are space in such a way they act like a magnet/metal detector and pick up the metal passing over them.
In this case your axles / chassis. It can tell the difference between a car chassis (small light) and something bigger (has more axles).
I simply call them ‘axle counter lines’.
Long winded/scientific explanation (I think), but that’s how I think it works…
Nah, those sensors are for detecting the amount of money in your wallet as you pass over them…
Fairly certain that the cameras detect trucks by radar, as they already use radar for the speed, bigger vechilcles bounce back more radar signals the lines in the road may be to activate the camera when a vechile approches, more lighly there part of the traffic counts lot
I have recently been nicked for 46 in a 40…I asked how the cameras sensed it was a large vehicle, as the limit was a 60…They told me that there was height sensors being used.
Today, I went through a Truvello in the car, in a 40 at 55, so I am just going to give them my license back, ask them to pay me benefits and purchase a donkey and cart…I can`t see what else I can do, with my poor memory 
At 47, I am too old to keep up with it all…

Called Piezo sensors I think.

Hmmmm, better slow down I thinks
