Beat the speed cameras!

I know it's too late for some of you, but I have a neat little trick to beat the speed cameras!
If you glance to your left while driving you'll see a dial with some numbers on it. When the needle points to the speed limit for the road you are on you'll not set off the camera.
Simple!

Once you take into account the inaccuracy of a minor speedo
Exactly the situation I found myself in. I was in a Minor with a speedo calibrated for a 4.55 but running a 3.9 diff and I hadn't worked out the true (get me out of s**t) speed. I was being passed by another car at the time who definitely was speeding and the camera went off. Aparently they have the technology to read the speed of cars in all lanes simultaneously so I had to sit tight and assume the worst.
It's been a few months now [crossed fingers].
Incidently, now fitted with 4.2 diff and 145 tyres the speedo was checked with satnav and was near enough spot-on at most speeds.

they have to respond within 14 days so you will be ok if its a few months
also a lot of cameras just flash
