I received the following message today. I thought it might be of use to members.
Hi Ian
New SPECS Speed Cameras which were introduced just before
Christmas on the M5 are going 'live' TOMORROW.
They are positioned between Junctions 29 and 31.
The first cameras read your number plate and if you arrive at
the next camera too quickly you will get a £60.00 fine and 3
points onyour licence (or worse if you are going over an
un-disclosed threshold speed).
They do not use film, and so you will not see a flash and
prosecutions are electronically produced because there will
be so many of them that it would require too many people
to process them manually...
And get this...
...there are no warning signs up, and although warning signs
are in the Home Office guidelines their absence will NOT
constitute a defence!
The cameras are installed between M5 J29 Exeter
(Honiton Road) and M5 J31 (A30 interchange)'
