But first you might have to prove that you weren't trying to commit an act of terrorism..

Or are special "covers" sold to somehow mask the license plates from the camera?? Mind you, I'm not suggesting or even condoning this type of action - I'm sure the penalty for getting caught is probably worse than the speeding ticket... But with this much emphasis put on cameras, I would think there would be more people trying to "beat the system".

Or one camera at 100mph on a 70mph motorway and lose your license and face a jail sentence.

These are some examples of our speed cameras..note the gantree, those square black bits light up with speed limits and there are hidden cameras keyed to that number called Variable speed cameras, in the oncoming lanes above the white truck there is a camera mounted on a pole, that is one of a pair that record your average speed over the distance between the two.. there are other types as well and I have to pass dozens of these on an average ride.
Here are two more on a road into one of our towns the yellow one is a visible speed camera usually fixed at 30mph and the other one is part of an average speed camera, on this stretch of road they are placed about every 100 yards.. if you speed through four of these at night you can lose your driving license.
There are three different speed cameras in this next view, the white lines on the road are used as speed markers.
