We’re in a Credit Crunch. At a going rate of 5K, you’re definately on your own.

Short answer, Yes, particularly if done repeatedly. The Good Book says that you are prohibited from further driving and reported for summons.
Even though it might be a ‘continuing’ offence.
Travelling down a road at speed x when the limit is y, and trigger a handful of cameras (on that same road), then there is a valid argument that a ‘continuous’ offence has been committed, and the criteria as to whether a prosecution should follow (or not), and any penalty that follows, should reflect only one of those trangressions.
We are talking here of Start and Finish locations. For the majority of us that will be the UK. There is no other option to select (until we rebuild that ■■■■ wall between us and Scotland. ) So why should it be such an issue?
I’m sorry to say that the musings of the ‘Good Book’ merely serve the enhance the animosity that the public (in general) feel towards Authority, and is a hangover from the “B’liarite” days when performance HAD (and still does) need to be measured in numbers.
HARD targets involve time and money and, whilst maybe making headlines, only count in single figures (in the Annual stats). Soft targets, on the other hand, are easy prey and bump the numbers up.
I’m not having a go at VOSA. - much. It’s more of a Political rant. That in the clamour of politicians to have themselves viewed as more accountable to the populace, they have achieved the directly opposite effect.
Oh for the days when we could simply ‘batter heads’ and ‘kick arses’ in some dark alleyway, over some minor indisrection, rather than generate a mountain of paperwork, from which, the Legal Profession, feather they’re (rather expensive) nests.
