Hi all,

Just posting this on behalf of a m8,

He was travelling along the M56 heading towards North Wales, and drove under a bridge (can't remember the exact location) with what he said looked like a copper (had a luminous jacket) standing behind a camera on a tri-pod.

There were no speed restrictions on this motorway at the time (no roadworks, etc) and he was doing about 85-90 indicated on his speedo as he drove under the bridge....

Is this a normal method of catching people speeding, or is the guy likely to be there for something else? tax, or just traffic monitoring? :s

Seems harsh considering its a motorway, down right dangerous for people to start slamming there brakes on when they see em as well!
 
Well it was just a single tri-pod with a guy standing behind it in I think the central lane, mate says he went past in the outside lane, with a guy doing the same speed behind him, and someone in the central lane doing a similar speed.

Cheers anyways :)
