Bl**dy mobile speed camera vans
 

Hi,

Could someone please help put my mind at rest.

Keeping it breif:
Drove past a mobile speed camera van parked on the opposite side of the dual carriage way. Think i may have been over the 60 limit.
Can the camera van (which had orange lights on top if that helps) catch me if even it is on the opposite side? I thought maybee it can only detect vehicles approaching its rear doors?


Best of all i want even in the scoob, but in my mums crappy fiesta.

Darn it!

What is it these days 60 quid and 3 points?

hi Dj.....yeah it is 3 points and £60 mate.Were you on that dual carriageway either from or going to Stone??.....pass the Sandon village?.....if so that lil **** is always there somewhere,i always stick to the "60" speed now......as for it getting you,i think you might of been caught,depends on which way he/she was facing at the time........Tez

get yourself a jammer, doesn't matter where they are then cos they can't detect your speed!!!

You do know that dual-carriageways have a 70 limit unless signed otherwise ...???

Was on the A51 to rugely. Just before right turning for weston.
Best of it was i saw the blo*dy thing but was too busy thinking about whether it had got me to check my speed. Think i must have been doing 70ish. Oh poo. Sit tight for 14 days then eh. Thats the last time i go home that way. Makes you think though cos i have been lucky upto now.
I would never speed in a 30 or 40 or 50 but Im not gonna lie i must admit i put my foot down on the open dual carrige ways and motorway.

But they know you're messing with the laser and worse could follow ;)

well i've never had any probs with mine and its jammed loads since i bought it, actually jammed one tonight when i was on my way home from work, its the best thing i've ever bought for my car.

but then they might nick you for perverting the course of justice!?
Jammers are a good one to ask about on http://www.5ive-o.org/forum/index.php (run by motorist friendly feds)

Unless the jammer head was fixed under his rear numberplate, it probably wouldn't have helped in this instance.

Just as importantly are the traffic facing speed cameras Eastbound on the A14 between the A1 and the M11 switched on at the moment. If so I think I'll have notched up my first ever points in 20 years of motoring :(

OK whats a jammer and how can you tell a mobile speed camera?

Good point , I guess you would need to be doing over 75ish (allowing for speedo) to be done

OK, is it the fact that I sound totally stupid asking the above questions, or is it the fact that you are all busy, or is it just that everyone is bleeding ignorant.

Ive been missy nice girl now im getting angry >:-D can someone please answer me or i'll have to crack my whip!! 8-)

please...!!! :-><

and yes I know my smileys havent worked !!

Yes please ...... :D

A laser jammer is a device that, as it says, *jams* the laser signal from a laser speed gun in such a way that the laser device gets a false reading. It Should give you time to slow down to *legal* speeds before they can get another reading. Of obvious benefits but dubious legality. It helps if you have a garage door also operated by said device ....

As for mobile traps go here http://www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/

Basically they can be various forms. The most common is probably the cop car with the driver using the old hair dryer (like on the M4 last night at 9-15pm ... gits). Or they may have a mini-gatso on a tripod. Or they'll have the scamera vans - with the camera pointing out of a back or side window at the criminal ... sorry, motorists, coming their way. But only in accident blackspots mind ......

Please bring on the whip even though I've been good miss ......

Thank you for that, it was most entertaining!!. Now its my turn, how many lashes babe. haha

Cheers hun

Mx :)

I got busted by one on the opposite side of the road filming me as i went past (away) from it. Took a piccie of the back of my car!

Me too - shame they couldn't get it to stick ;)

what about denying it was you then altering the appearance of your car,ie stickers,different design number plate etc and claiming it was a cloned car?

Not true, I have a Jammer (LRC100) which is working fine, Came round a bend on the M4 to find the Ice cream van on a bridge. Jammer went off, so did the road angel, So I was being lasered, Dropped speed down to 70 But still recieved a Nip in the Post for 94!!!!! which was spot on with the speed I was doing.

Mind you I did manage to drag out paying them for 6 months

that A51 is a dual carriageway but it is a "60" road,they sit on the lights either side and also just as you go out the "40" into the "60" they are sat there(to stop you putting ya foot down from the lights!)they do also go futher up aswell,and also on the single carriageway towards stone.....i try to stop going that way and go on the M6.........but can always guarentee the free flow of traffic....tez

well mine works ok, over a month ago i was on the caerphilly bypass doing well over the speed limit, came around a bend to see a camera van there, the jammer went off so i was obviously being lasered, slowed down a bit but still over the limit and i haven't heard a thing since, have your jammer checked is the best bet, if its not correctly aligned it won't work properly.
