The Holmesdale Tunnel which is the tunnel by junction 25 on the M25 is going to have SPECS cameras fitted in it. These are very small CCTV type cameras which work on ANPR-type number plate readings. They are a set distance apart and read your number plate as you pass each camera. If you travel between the two in too short a time frame, then you are obviously speeding and your picture is taken. These will be introduced with very little or no publicity.This is being done as the Holmesdale tunnel is quite an accident hotspot, so tell everyone you possibly can to keep their speed down as they go through the tunnel to reduce the likelihood of causing any accidents.

I've had this story by email a few times now. It has all the hallmarks of BS.
