my dad works for bt so gets notified with pretty much everything!! this is one of his recent emails!!:::

All

Below may be of interest to you if you use above motorways.


Speed camera information for drivers on the M6, M56, M60 and M62.
>
>
>
> The new electronic signs on the M6 were switched on this Tuesday. The bad
> news is that they are rigged with the SPECS speed cameras.
> This probably applies to all the new signs being installed on the M62,
> M60 and M56. SPECS is a computer-camera based system.
> As you go past the sign a digital camera reads your number plate. When
> you go past the next sign your number plate is read again.
> The computer 'knows' how far apart the signs are so it can work out your
> average speed between the two, or three or four.
>
> The system is fully automatic and will issue a ticket without any form of
> human intervention. It does this for every single vehicle that passes.
> You will not know you have been caught as the cameras don't flash. They
> work 24/7, 365 days a year, and theoretically, there's absolutely no limit
>
> on the number of tickets that the system can issue.
>
>
>
> The whole section of the M6 between Knutsford and Preston is wired, both
> ways. The system is set to trigger a ticket at 78MPH. (Don't take this as
> a guarantee)
>
> Radar detectors will be of no use as SPECS is entirely passive, there is
> no laser beam to detect.
> Be warned and spread the news!

The mail is fake.

Why is 'knows' in quotes? It either knows or it doesn't?
