Camera Van....did I escape it?

[merlin]

I drove 660 miles yesterday, did quite well at spotting the camera vans/gatso's/unmarked police cars etc apart from one that took me by surprise...

Tranny van, unmarked on a bridge - little smoked glass window on the side and also three cameras on tripods looking down onto the 3 motorway lanes. I guess the van was to catch evil speeders and the camera things on tripods are checking tax/insurance etc yeah?

Anyway, I saw the van pretty much instantly, hit the brakes to get down from 81/82 to low 70's and then hid behind a truck

I reckon he got clear sight of me for less than half a second. How long would it take him to get me in his sights and press the trigger?

Isn't that ANPR as opposed to money grabbers?

Not sure, I was thinking it was both because of the smoked glass window.

There was no warning signs before the van, and no markings on the van itself - nothing at all.
