Does that mean they can nick you for all 6, how the hell can you be speeding if you have never slowed down for the first one.
Also there are flaws in the system as most oldish cameras use the grids on the road to take your picture as you enter and leave these grids and then calculate your speed whcih is fine if your doing 90mph but if your doing 190mph then it gets confused and nicks the poor ******* behind you doing 70mph.
Both the above are Jim Davdisons gags but the logic is there for the abusing.
My personal favorite was when the copper who issued the ticket had to be the one who was there was when you paid the fine at the local police station so to get some vengeance you would fins out what shift he was on and then two to three minutes before the shift ended produce the ticket at the station and pay the fine in pennies or some other denomination of low value coins and they would have to stop until they counted every last penny and ensured the amount was correct.
Not a good idea if your planning on keeping your car but ideal if you are about to sell your motor and not worried about your registration being passed about the local police station.
