What can one say? I nearly soiled a pair of perfectly good chinos. Excellent site :-)

I think one of the worst cameras at the moment has to be the SPECS cameras. You can spot them as they're often on blue upside-down L-shaped posts with the SPECS logo

on. Problem is, they look just like normal CCTV cameras. They position them at mile intervals and they measure your AVERAGE speed by reading your number plate. So you can't slow down for them then speed up.

I think these are good for bringing down the average speed of drivers', but everyone knows what a Gatso camera looks like, but I suspect many people don't even know these cameras apart from normal CCTV cameras.

Hello,

I read an article about these cameras when they were entering in prototypes tests phase. Interesting though, as here they still measure the instant speed. Our "worst speedtrap" is the Sagem IR binoculars : able to "shoot" you at

700m (~2,100ft), but usually used at 400m (1,200ft). Oh, forgot to mention : they even can measure the velocity of a man walking (even if there's no risk).

Thanks for the picture of the speedcheck logo :-) The Specs info is available from the speedcheck homepage.

Anybody know what the specs like stuff is on the side of the M1 just South of Nottingham? Been there a while - several white poles with specs like sidepods but no camera's.

Also on the subject of Specs - it';s been so successful in cutting speeds on the NOttingham ringroad that it's not making any money and they can't afford to deploy any more :-)
