I believe so - but if you're a motorcyclist please don't quote me on it
and go and get caught!

This is probably the only problem with SPECS. Otherwise, I am in support
of it, as unlike Gatsos they do not cause a hazard by way of panic braking
(there's no point - if you've reached the second one it's too late).

I think SPECS are fairer than GATSO too, but only if they are set to
allow a small margin above the limit as GATSO is. If you are in a 30
limit and happen to stray up to 35 at the point of a camera, you can
feel hard done by. But if you *average* 35mph or more over a distance,
you've no real cause to moan, you were genuinely speeding (providing
the limit is properly signed of course).
