What is an Average Speed Camera and how to deal with them

Take a normal speed camera. A few drivers will speed at, let's say 50pmh and then slow right down for the speed camera. After the camera, they will normally start speeding again.
So, some clever person thought of the average speed cameras. How do they work

They come in pairs and will work along with temporary speed signs. Please remember that a speed sign in a red circle is the maximum speed by law. If it's not in a red circle then it is advisable.
Take a normal speed camera. A few drivers will speed at, let's say 50pmh and then slow right down for the speed camera. After the camera, they will normally start speeding again.

The first camera will take a picture of your number plate, your vehicle and the time to the nearest millisecond. The second camera will do the same.

The system then works out the time it took you to travel from the first camera to the second and divides that by the distance travelled. So calculates your average speed.
