| Now that the evenings are darker I have noticed this more and more recently......whilst driving along the M4 i have overtaken the obligatory Middle Lane M*r*n and shining brightly on their dash is a SATNAV unit. Now is there a link between middle lane driving and operating satnav units? I know they ... |

| Drove through again today and it is SPECS cameras. They are replacing the central reservation so thats the reason for the lengthy roadworks. Amazing how slow 40 is when youre on the motorway, still find some people overtaking me tho..... |

| Does anyone know what the above cameras are for??? There are two cameras on bright yellow poles, at the side of the road overlooking all three lanes...are they ANPR?? they are on both carriageways around where the roadworks start/end, I thought they might be SPECS but its over a small distance |

| what is interesting is that they have selected a "wealthy" borough to implement this scheme in, if those people can afford to have big Mercs, BMWs and 4x4s sitting around they certainly arent going to worry about paying a "little" increase to park them....now if they tried that i... |

| it is an interesting point, though, if your car is accessible to a couple of Muslim women who would normally wear a veil, you would not be able to identify them, therefore having made a reasonable effort to find out you are unable to point the finger with 100% certainty. I can see the case being dro... |
