Hi Guys,
I am new to these forums. So hopefully I have posted in the right area ?
Currently own a Dark Blue 4 door Classic Turbo 2000.
Any how. I was travelling to work this morning down the A500 Stoke-on-trent by pass. Came round the corner and low and behold there was a dark blue van with cheverons and a Police car parked up in front on the lay-by near the Talke turn off.
Now I know I was doing a little more over the leagal limit and corrected my speed as soon as I saw it (over 80).
The cop car didn't pull me over.
I don't recall seeing any blacked out windows on the back of the van but there were some on the side.
Am I assuming the worse ?
Advice needed.

its a wise move - i got myself a Bel target 550 radar detector and it is very good - few false alarms, except when in town, but then you should be behaving there anyway.
i feel i want extra backup with the increase use of laser and the fact that my eyesight cannot spot a bloke with a laser gun 1 mile away on a bridge

ChrisB. Definately passed a Dark Blue Van with red chevrons and a marked cop car this morning @ around 8:58am this morning. Road was pretty quiet for a change. Thus the temptation to put ones foot down on the accelerator. I was coming up from J16 M6.

Just had a look at the mobile Speed van schedule. It never mentioned the A34 being targeted. Even though a colleague of mine spotted a van at the bottom near the BP garage yesterday. Claims this was a white van as shown in the webpage.
