In a nutshell the spec cameras scan cars in there respective lane...should you change lane and stay in it or move to another (other than the original lane you were in) the next camera will start again as you have changed 'track'

Very interesting Andy. Fortunately, it will be a while before us northerners have to worry too much about those things. (Its grim up here, by the way)

Bloody M25, M1 A1...just about any road works down here has 'em

They've got them on the M42.

Very interesting.......

Very interesting.......

Ive seen em too...and 3 cameras for motorways....so looking at all three lanes....not worth the risk imo

But AA your omega is limited to 45mph......so doubt youd get a ticket

Got done last Oct in north Wales, came off an unrestricted dual carriageway, round a bend into a 30mph zone, started slowing down, got done by a mobile camera - speed? 34mph a £60 fine and first points on my licence in 5 decades of driving.

I have done some work with one of the companies that developed the SPECS cameras, and I would take that story with a pinch of salt.

Not convinced...they have them in Nottingham and one camera monitors two lanes......

I hate to state the bloody obvious, but try sticking to the speed limit. It works for me!

[Essex_Andy]

Just incase you were to be distracted it might be worth remembering :-/

Should have fought that one! ACPO prosecution guidelines are 10% plus 2 ie 35mph so had you argued it probably would have been dropped.
