    New Speed Cameras - It this BS?

    Just got sent this e-mail:

    Just to let you all know, I have been informed that the cameras on the M25
    speed restrictions have recently been changed. The cameras are now digital.
    If the speed restrictions are on display the cameras are active.
    If you pass through the speed restrictions advancing the specified speed,
    you will be done.
    You will be sent a picture and a producer through the post within 3 weeks.

    Also on the M1, the traffic surveillance cameras have now been fitted with
    speed detectors. If you pass one and then the next one (which on average
    they are 3 miles apart) it will estimate your speed. If you are exceeding
    80 MPH you will be done.

    A3 out of London We have just adopted the mobile camera vans that they have
    been using more so up North. They are unmarked and look like work vans. If
    you see one by the edge of the road and the back door or window is open the
    camera is active.


    Is this bs?

    the one about the speed cameras on the other side of the speed resrictions is true, I saw one go off about 2 weeks ago.
    All sweeping statements are wrong.

    The ones that measure your speed over the set distance is SPECS, not a new system. Been in the M6 roadworks for ages and I believe Northampton is covered with them. Need a GPS detector to find them ones too.
