Apparently SPECS cameras will be installed on the Cat & Fiddle next week to cut down the death rate of motorcyclists.Given that ,as far as I know , SPECS cameras only read a vehicles front number plate and motorcycles are only required to display a rear number plate,the only speeders to be detected will be those on four wheels and not two.Hmmm.
not quite true if they fit 2 camara’s one facing each way they can get both bikes and cars, seeing it more and more on the motorway road work one 
Does anyone know how offences caught by the SPECS cameras are dealt with?
If your average speed between one pair of cameras is over the limit I guess that’s one speeding offence.
If your average speed between several cameras is over the limit is each pair of cameras considered to be a separate offence?
Alternatively, if your average speed between the first and last camera in a set was below the limit could you claim this as your average speed?

Just made a phone call to find out -
If there are say 3 sets of SPECS joined in a row and any or all of them are violated (sounds rude that !!) then only ONE prosecution will be issued.
hope that helps
I’ve still not been able to find a definative answer to an old question:
Are they linked to the DVLA vehicle database and therefor capable of distinguishing between a car, panel van, bus and truck? All of which might have different limits over the same section of road.

Dunno but technically possible
