Default Oh dear!!! Silver classic on the M40 (junction 2)

This morning, approximately 10:45am, silver classic tanking it down the outside lane of the M40 approaching Junction 2 at Beaconsfield, heading towards the M25.

Nothing unusual with that of course.......except the failure to see a camera van up on the bridge and the braking down to 70mph was WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too late to even think you might have escaped a letter in the post, but if you did then I think you're in league with the devil

Was the camera van on the side of the road looking north towards Junction 3? Every time I've seen it there it's been on the other side gunning drivers leaving London between 2 & 3 and it was there yesterday doing the same. Luckily I was driving towards the M25 when I spotted it

It was on the bridge at Junction 2, looking at drivers approaching from Junction 3 (towards London/M25).
I saw a lorry flash for no reason on the opposite carriageway as I came past J3, so I decided to keep within the law until I was past J2. I saw the camera van from way back, but this Impreza just kept going and going until it was right in front of the van and then dropped its anchor, but I fear about 20 seconds too late!!!

I was just saying to Cat yesterday that they would be better catching drivers coming over the hill instead of coming away from London like they normally do. I'll have to take it easy going London bound but to be honest I always take it easy up the hill towards where they sit.

There's quite a bend in the road approaching J2 from 3. You have to really go to the inside lane to look around the corner if you want to see what's up ahead.
The lesson is to stay at 70 around that area
