Looks similar to this with the sripes side and rear but without the NHS sticker,and has blacked out windows and orange beacons on the roof not blue ones as you would expect!!!!!!!!

This is S.Yorks police's new anti speed weapons, you will find them parked up on the roadside, looking like a council van etc, but the sting in the tail is that these are mobile speed camera's!

Be careful out there!!!!

North Yorks have Renault Master(bater) vans that are very similar They look like they're just parked up but if you look closely you can see the speed camera's popping out of the top of the rear doors

Plenty of those around South Wales.
Their favourite trick is to plonk a van on one of the bridges over the M4 at Bridgend, with the camera poking out the side door, and then just rack up the 85mph+ drivers as they pass...

...South Wales vans are these:

I thought all speed detection devices had to have advance warnings now?

BOB.T

Round here we have bezillions of speed camera signs, at least one every mile but no fixed cameras I think that's how they get round parking anywhere they like

There all over doncaster now. Michael i thought it had me at the dome as well a couple of months back. Went through at 50 but never heard nothing.

"I thought all speed detection devices had to have advance warnings now?"

They have a speed camera sign on the side of the van that is facing traffic. Also they will typically operate in areas that have static camera signs but no static cameras

Beware - just had a NIP for 81 in a 70 from one of these, there appears to be little or no tolerance applied.

yep, i see one of these on a regular basis now, it has 'Safety camera van' stickers down the side. Its usually parked on the central reservation on the short stretch of dual carriageway (40 limit)from Norton roundabout and the nags head roundabout going towards Dronfield/ Chesterfield.

The other morning they had the rear doors open and a guy was sat in the back behind a strange looking camera. It looked like a pair of tripod mounted binoculars

Luckily for me there were cars in front holding my speed down to just over 40.

Dunk did you send the form back unsigned?

Dazpac it's there nearly every other day now. Also on the dome side. Also nearly had me coming through finnlingley village.

Dazapc

I see them nearly every morning creeping out of the ops complex next to Sheffield airport while i am on my way to work!

Nottinghamshire have also got them as well. Went through one on Thursday, on the A1 just before the Markham Moor roundabout, heading North. Checking the post with baited breath every morning.....

Worked out if that one van got someone every 5 mins (which wouldn't be difficult looking at everyone around at the time) for 7hrs a day, 5 days a week...over a year, if each person got a £60 penalty that works out to.....£1.3m!!!!!
