Mobile safety van

[NiCkNaMe]

Hi guys,

Travelling along the A34 towards Stafford today, there was a mobile safety van. Came around the corner at around 75, and slowed down immeadiatly quite a bit before I went past the van. (Van was what, 200 yards down the road dual carriageway?) The vans back windows were facing me as I went past it... (went past at around 55)

Speed limit is 60.

a) can they get you both ways?
b) whats the distance?
c) I was in the outside lane... any difference?



Luckily, if you can say that... I've been driving for 2 years in feb so at least I've got a 12 point cushion... but im proper skint and can't afford the fine and the insurance hike (what do you reckon it will be?)... 19 (20 at renewal) - named driver on my mums policy.

Cheers

Oh, and I forgot to moan in my post.

Completly ridiculous position the van was in. Nice long straight, no issues at all... (why the a34 is 60 is beyond me anyway). That van served no other purpose bar making money. Makes me proper mad - I slammed my brakes on that hard I nearly came off the road. Although thats entirely my fault if i'd of died crashing I guess.
