those are the "specs" devices, they clock you between two points over some distance and then get you, even if you (like 99% of us) slam on as soon as you see them!

you can slam on the first of the pair but as long as stay behaved inbetween you are fine

then you can cane it back to 70! ;)

btw im not advocating slamming the brakes, numbskulls do this!  :evil:
