Either that or fly through on a motor bike, all the spacs cameras r forward facing, bikes dont have front number plates - just remember to smile and wave  :lol:

Sorry - its urban legend, no doubt started with someone who's been caught.

Old Specs used to have a camera per lane - the new system has one camera for many lanes. The camera is only a bog standard (IR) CCTV camera, its the funky bells and whistles software that looks at the images that does all the work.

As always there is a test for these things - belt about for a day or two, then sit the letter box and wait  :P

According to the Independent newspaper the Home Office didn't spend enough to get the camera that will accommodate lane switching vehicles.

the manufacturer said it could be done but the government didn't buy that option.

AIUI the story is innacurate.  First generation systems could only track vehicles that entered and exited a SPECS zone in the same lane.  Later systems do not suffer this issue.  So not a good idea to test it!
