New Speed Cameras on the M6...
Discussion
Apologies if this has been said before, but here goes.
I received an email this morning and although I can't confirm if it's true, I thought it worth a post. Perhaps someone here can say for sure and at least we can all be extra careful...
New electronic signs on the M6 were switched on this Tuesday. Bad news is that they're rigged with SPECS speed cameras and probably applies to all new signs on M62, M60 and M56. As you go past a sign a digicam reads your number plate. When you go past the next sign it's read again. The computer 'knows' the distance between signs and can get your average speed between them. It's fully automatic and issues tickets without human intervention. You won't know you've been caught as they don't flash. They work 24/7 365 there's no limit on the number of tickets the system can issue.
The system is set to trigger a ticket at 78MPH. (Don't take this as a guarantee). Radar detectors will be of no use as SPECS is entirely passive, there is no laser beam to detect. Be warned and spread the news!
Like I said I don't know how true this is and please don't
at me if this has been done before...
