Was driving to Oxford and there before I knew it was onee of these bl**dy mobile speed cameras with the mandatory white van......
Question - arent these things meant to 'advertised' - ie at least a cursory sign in front of the van 'police speed camera' ? Thought the recent ruling stated that these things should also be visible from the road and unobstructed (this one was hidden by the van)..... ?
May phone the police tommorrow and clarify this..... any help beforehand would be useful
Cheers,
Gastro
PS - I didnt get flashed by it !

Pretty sure - it was taking photos of the back of the cars over 'speed strip markings' - the camera & flash were on a tripod...
Like it took a photo of the guy who was belting along up behind me - stoppped him tail gating me for the rest of the journey though
