    On the M2 widening works they have the usual 2 specs cameras on the blue pole pointing at traffic and an additional camera pointing rearwards for those lovely motorcyclists. Do they work? Don't know. But do ya feel lucky punk?:D

    An alternative view might be that perhaps you should concentrate on your driving, rather than making phone calls.

    darn it..beat me to it!

    specs cameras operate in pairs.

    the $64000 question is...are the two paired cameras actually watching the same lanes?

    Specs are there to overcome the old problem of motorists slowing only at a camera site.

    They aren't actually operated by the Police.....

    as for bikes? not yet enough of them on the roads to raise a problem......they are targetted elsewhere.


    stop worrying, start focussing on the driving, and not what you do for a living........you'll know soon enough if you've dropped off the perch.
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
