hmm think id rather have fixed camera's than an increase in coppers hiding in bush's though....my sat nav tells me where the fixed cameras are...not the sneaky coppers parked up somewhere!

Who's going to be the first to try speeding past one after they are "turned-off"?

i know one that DOESNT work. Into the city on the A13, underpass @ barking opposite the firestation. It was burnt a few months ago. looks like they have cleaned the back up but the front is still rather burnt. I doubt they would bother to replace it as the specs go live soon.

Any idea when the SPECS do go live?

RE the camera on the A13, i will have to revoke what i said, come past this evening and there's a guy there rebuilding the camera. maybe the specs aint going live just yet.

The problem is the A13 need cameras / police presence to monitor all the idiots that think it is okay to swerve in between lanes and cars to get to their destination five minutes earlier.. or cause a crash. SPECS may help but I doubt it

I do hate SPECS though as I spend more time watching the speedo than the road. Even more so on the M1 for the miles of roadworks with no workers

agree with you rossi, driving into London at all sorts of times see **** driving all the time, take tonight i was lane 2 just before a406, nothing behind or inside me. then this van comes flying up on the outside and cuts me up at the last minute to get onto the slip for the 406!!! WTF there was an empty road behind me he could have used without going anywhere near me!!!! but as you said spec cameras wont stop these t!ts!!!!
