Subject: BS: M4 drivers beware !
A Caution to those UK Catters who use the M4 Motorway, and take a lax view of the 70mph speed limit.

Both directions of the M4 between Theal (J12) and Membury Services are now fitted with the SPECS speed camara's.

These identify Registration Numbers, and time you between two points.

Speeding tickets are issued by computer.

This is an optical system and needs no "flash" or Radar. It is on 24/365.

Information circulating from "reliable sources" suggest that the computer is geared up to prosecute if the average speed exceeds 78mph.

Be warned ! Or better still don't speed.

Gareth - who's licence is still clean despite an unfortunate icident in the Forest of Dean involving a stray sheep some years ago.
