How to Spot A SPECS
"The Yellow Vulture" click:

So here's how you do it...
Hard as it is to believe, you can avoid being caught on SPECS
speed cameras just by CHANGING LANES half way between the
two cameras.
SPECS cameras work out the vehicles average speed by calculating
the time it took to drive between two camera positions.
However, under Home Office rules, speeding prosecutions are ONLY
valid if a driver is filmed in the *SAME* lane from the start to
the finish of each section of road covered by the cameras.
According to "Speed Check Services", who produce the SPECS
cameras, the devices were approved by the Home Office in 1999,
passing strict tests for use in one lane at a time....
HOWEVER, there was not enough time or finances to extend Home
office approval tests to cover the cameras' use over two or
three lanes at a time -- and, strangely, since then nothing has
changed!
So the message is if you're going through roadwork's or you see
a SPECS system if at all possible change lanes at least once.
Don't go and take out a row of cones though! :-)
If you would like to be warned in advance of the SPECS cameras
and every other type of camera and mobile speed trap site then
check out my BTST Locator at:

It warns you 500 meters in advance of EVERY type of speed trap
out there, whether it be a fixed one or a mobile one.
