If I had a van i'd park up right behind it for a laugh :cool:

I'm sure we'll see another brush under the carpet action to be honest :confused:

Well if the number plates havent been copied and pasted then i would have to agree that they are.

Bit bloody sneaky if you ask me, but i suppose if u dont break the speed limit you have nothing to worry about

I was under the impression speed "safety" cameras always had to be highly visible (ie marked up) also that they can only be deployed at accident blackspots?

That makes sence, but this isn't about safety, it's about profit.

I believe that law is now defunct and they can hide them wherever they want.

I might be wrong, but I'm fairly sure I remember seeing it on the news.

AFAIK that's a recommendation rather than a regulation

I agree - hence the inverted commas marks round the word "safety"

Report it to the DVLA, as said on PH!

No one told the DVLA that it is now blue, I thought that was an offence?

last week in telford, on the newport bypass, i saw a white transit van with storage space on the roof for plumbers pipes etc parked up in a layby, upon passing it i noticed it had the two holes in the top of the van rear doors(like the ones used for number plate checks) looks like they are getting sneaky

Haven't the police been spotted using a camera from the back of a horse box?

therealnerd2 · 24 Apr 2008 at 19:02

It's pistonheads rubbish

Toker · 24 Apr 2008 at 19:21

yea they were caught using a horsebox!

If you're not speeding in the first place, then what's the problem?

Your in Motors you know.

I would be that most of the people reading motors at one point in there whole life have broke the speed limit.

ive got loads of points left... sod em

Skeeter · 24 Apr 2008 at 21:24

Doesnt the highly Visible rule only apply to perminent or fixed cameras? Gatsos and Average speed cameras and the like. I was under the impression mobile cameras were fair game, its not like the camera guns are yellow is it?

[TW]Fox · 24 Apr 2008 at 22:16

Look at the road its on - looks like the sort of place people would be performing a quick, safe overtake....
