The other "option" is to tail gate so that the cameras can not see your plate.
However, some SPECS zones are made up of 3 or more cameras, which is live a series of traps all together.

Those drivers with a Drive Smart will feel quite safe though :lol: :lol: :lol:

You mean those drivers who are awake and are capable of seeing will feel safe!!!! SPECS arent making enough money for their owners because they are too easy to see and slow down for. Its why they arent particularly prevalent when compared with GATSO.

We don't have any specs cameras in Northern Ireland :D
In fact, we only have 4 fixed speed cameras in the while country (according to the freedom of information act!)

I know you didn't .I was making the point that they stop people speeding .I thought that was the point not how much revenue they generate or how much they cost .
No, wait ,Don't believe the hype .
