New, inescapable speed cameras !!!!

From the YAHOO website...

The Government has introduced a new generation of average speed camera that can track motorists across entire networks of roads.
The first versions went live on a stretch of the A13 carriageway that heads from southeast Essex into East London on January 31.
Existing average speed cameras only monitor a car's speed between fixed points on the road, but the new models are capable of consistently tracking a vehicle.
The latest system has 84 cameras and 37 average speed monitoring points - it can even keep an eye on drivers entering and exiting a stretch of road.
RoadPilot, a firm that specialises in speed camera detection devices, has warned that this could be the start of an average speed monitoring system that spans the UK.
Chief Executive of RoadPilot, James Flynn OBE, said: "If this system proves successful, it could be extended or rolled out to other locations, all of which can be linked together.
"Taken to the extreme, the entire UK road network could, in theory, be linked up under one average speed monitoring system - meaning Big Brother could always be watching you!"
RoadPilot's speed camera database has already been updated with the new, advanced camera sites, so users of the company's products will be alerted to their presence.

Uh ha. And this 'news' story was brought to you by? The BBC... nope. The Guardian... nope. By the people who want to sell you... wait for it... a system that identifies speed cameras!! And hey, guess what, the owners of that company are speculating that it might go National, but strangely there is no reference to any Government announcement!! What a surprise... I am scared shitless... must rush out and buy one... not.

Re normal camera vans listen to what the operator says at 45 secs. The lasers get your speed then forward camera,s get your your number plate after you pass the van. I was in my lads mr2 turbo a week back not noticing the speed when I saw a van on a bridge (same place as I missed him a month back). The second I saw him a good 500 yards away I turned off the road to a country park so if what the cop says is right they did not get my plate as I did not pass the van for the forwards cameras to take my number????
