That's effectively the speed that humps allow. Wonder if they'll get rid
of them?


Humps are cheaper than cameras.

Humps will go if they install road pricing GPS units in cars.. then they
can fine you for exceeding the speed limit on the fly, or maybe even
disable the vehicle on the grounds that its being driven by an idiot or
is stolen if you start clocking up (say) £10 per 100 meters per mph over
limit fines.



Wouldn't it be easier to blank off the aerial?


You just download the logs and fine anyone that doesn't have a reasonable
explanation for the missing data.
You could even use the aerial to transmit data like the reg number and then
you would be caught as soon as you passed a number plate camera for being a
car without the required equipment.
