Just a quick note, if other’s haven’t already noticed, the A14 from Huntingdon to Cambridge now has no speed cameras on it at present. The physical Gatso/Truvelo devices are still standing, but the cameras within them have been removed. This, of course, is to make way for the new SPECS system being made live in the next month.

I wonder when the people responsible for controlling the A14 will finally realise the crashes have nothing to do with speed, but everything to do with lorries using the road day and night, driving in both lanes, getting every-one annoyed and causing accidents due to frustration. Indeed, the A14 is always too busy to ever get above 56 mph during the day!

Instead of widening the road and completing upgrades, our representatives (unelected mostly I might add) have rail-roaded SPECS on us all. Josef Stalin would be salivating if he could see the gantries of spy cameras across Britain right now - all in the name of ’safety’. The UK is currently not a very comfortable place to live if you remotely value your right to privacy and presumption of innocence.

UPDATE: Here below you can see the new cameras in operation.
