Ms Helen Hughes:

Yes, are low. It is because people have much bigger gaps. The M7 is a much lower volume section of the motorway network. Other areas are not observing such over speeding. With recent fuel increases, anecdotally and with data sources that can show it, I believe that speeding has reduced. People are conscious of fuel costs. Average-speed cameras are not the panacea. We would have to be mindful of where it is actually needed.
