Very few systems are "always on" (well they are if I put them in) so why single these out?

The systems you install also have exactly nothing to do with speed enforcement, why don't you actually be honest and admit what it is that you do to the rest of the forum.
Your continued masquerading as having anything to do with speed enforcement is exceedingly tedious, especially when one knows exactly what you do.

I'd strongly suggest he's the Lord Haw haw appointed to appear on this forum ( but failing to ignore lessons from history). Their policies are like the old BL CARS tested on Top Gear -they look good ,sound good ,but just don't hold water ( or together ) for long .

After spending many hours in the M62 ever changing 50 zones I have wondered if it's worth an FOI asking for numbers of tickets issued and the speeds they were issued for.

Judging by the speeds I get passed at there must be a lot of tickets getting issued or a lot of people have a method of avoiding them.

Interesting list of "public" announcements there GS! Of course, if a car manufacturer has a vehicle safety defect, there is a well-established method for contacting the affected vehicle keepers and leaving them in NO DOUBT of the message you're trying to put across. It ain't cheap, but what price safety eh? Just think, you could reach every driving licence holder in the country so easily...

...if you wanted to! :wink:

in fact, if cost IS an issue (though I'm lead to believe it's not about the money!) you could even wait until tax reminders got sent out - at least that way you'd be able to reach every registered keeper in the country, at least once a year, for little more than the cost of the flyers!

I think you may be taking this a bit too far.

There is no obligation on the supplier of SPECS3 to educate or inform the public how they work or what capabilities they have. It is a speed enforcement system that will detect and has the potential to be used as evidence in excess speed situations. Enter the first location and carry on at a lawful speed until you exit the very last part and you will be just fine; no need to know anything more.
What possible reason would you have to want or need to know their tactical capabilities? There is none, hence no obligation to inform.
If you want to know it isn't difficult to find out.


Sorry mate - I was only trying to help! I know that plenty of SCP people have frequently stated that the sooner their cameras make no money, the happier they'll be - so I was just trying to spread a little happiness! Educating more people about how they work and what they do should go a long way to acheiving that! :lol:

So ,straight from a horse's mouth we have it - whereas once upon a day ,education played a major part in road safety . Today with robots on auto enforcement

And they wonder why our road safety record is going down faster than a submarine on crash dive ,and public relations between those in charge of road safety and the motorist heading for a low as deep as found in the north Atlantic .

As I have said on here before, the SPECS camera breaches the ACPO Code of Practise regarding the Secondary Check. Specs does not have a Secondary Check mechanism, there is no way of corroborating the camera's primary reading.
