I've heard that the M1, M4 & M25 have just been fitted with those speed cameras that track your speed over large distances. Anybody know if there is any truth in the rumor?

Yep the ones on the M1 were erected on the roadworks near J21 a long while back. Why do people read things that arent dated and imply they mean NOW?????

Don't need to worry

There is only ONE SPEC system in the UK and that is in Nottingham City Centre.

And that is a Fact it is still only on trial and cannot be put elsewhere until this period is over

They might not be in yet as they were due to be installed in the summer.
