What's equally interesting is that, when I'm driving within the limit,
I get drivers coming the other way, flashing their lights to warn me
that there *is* a mobile camera or police check just down the road.
Some drivers apparently don't think they should co-operate with
measures to make the roads safer for them and others.

French drivers are especially good at this. Do you also object to
being overtaken? I was flashed by some woman doing 35mph in a 40mph
zone when I overtook her. Clean overtake, nothing coming, didn't cut
her up, but got the "dickhead" sign. Obviously I had to accelerate
over the speed limit to complete the overtake safely, but that's none
of her business. Interesting when I got out of the car to discuss the
matter at road works a few miles down the road she declined to engage
in conversation.
