Something you may not have known about SPECS cameras.

Here's an interesting fact I was told from a friend who's a traffic plod yesterday.

When the SPECS cameras were introduced, they were rushed through whatever kind of approval system they have to go through.

As a result, they're only allowed to monitor one lane of traffic, no more. So if you're driving along a stretch of road with them on, make sure you alternate lanes as you go past the cameras making special care to be in different lanes for the first and last one.

That way, no matter what speed you're doing, you can't be nicked. Not that I'd advocate speeding but we all tend to drift over from time to time.
