SPECS CAMERAS
What are they? The SPEed Check enforcement System.
Where will I see them? On poles or gantries over/beside A-roads.
Who owns it? Local safety camera partnerships.
How do they work? SPECS is a digital safety camera system which calculates a vehicle's average speed from the time it takes to pass between pairs of safety cameras, which can be up to six miles apart. To avoid prosecution, drivers must observe the speed limit throughout the enforcement route, not just at the camera sites. SPECS removes the risk from drivers who brake hard at fixed camera sites and then accelerate once they have passed the camera. As SPECS is not reliant on the use of flash photograph, drivers who break the speed limit will not see the customary flash from the cameras. The cameras are, however, usually bright yellow.
Will I be fined? YES - this is most dangerous camera for your licence because you don't think: "WHOA! CAMERA!"
