Good spot there. I think they've since closed the loophole.

That article is from 2006, what are the chances they've addressed it since.

The quoted article is long past its sell by date.
SPECS Type Approval was changed quite some time ago such that the single lane restriction no longer applies. It is no longer an 'out'.
I took this in good faith from the pocketGPSworld site where it was emailed to me as up to date news.
It would be good to know the facts from one of our forum members in the police.

Yes, this loophole definitely did exist. It is almost certainly closed on all SPECs now.

I hate the SPECs as much as anyone, but when you try it, let me know how you get on...
