Speed camera vans and motorcycles. Questions..

Post by acrmnsm »

1) If you approach one facing you, do they have a front camera to get your plate as you pass, and is it legal? On the A30 yesterday two lads passed me at well over the ton, as I was doing 70 and they passed me like I was stopped, then the braked like crazy for a camera van on bridge.
2) Which got me thinking, can the van nick you when it is driving along? Same, if you approach from the rear and then slow down as you pass it?

Cameras face all ways on the vans.

If you spot it in time & slow down as you pass under the bridge its on then you should be ok.

If you got caught a NIP will be in the post within 14 days.

I don't think they are active when moving, normally 1 bloke so he cant operate the cameras when driving.
