Oops, may of been caught speeding
 

Was driving along the M25 to the darkside, and was in the fast lane, a little over the limit. Over took a box van and just as I passed, I saw what looked like a mobile speed camera van parked up on the chevrons seperating the A13 slip road and the M25.

The police van didn't look the usual speed camera van as it didn't have the camera hatches on the back doors/side but had a cylinder type hatch on the roof.

When I cam back through 20 mins later, the van was gone, and some sort of tripod was in it's place, with a similar tripod half way between the A13 and A127 junctions (both on the Kent bound side)

I know there is definately a speed trap operating on the Kent side of the crossing with a Motorcycle copper keeping an eye out on the Dartford junction (Saw him pulling over a artic)

if i am right the cylinder type thing that sticks out the roof is an ANPR camera, think you might be alright here matey.

Thats quite possible spally they have simalar on the A13 at times.

Just out of interest :angel:
If one was silly enough to go through a red light at say ........ 140ish would the camera be quick enough to catch you?;)

please dont take this the wrong way, but are you seriously expecting replies to the above question?

Thanks matey, was talking to one of my suppliers today and he said the same

paul, i've flown past one of these vans a while back too, so hopefully it is ANPR. !!!

fingers crossed for ya !

;) yes it WOULD still get you. IIRC tested above 170 before too quick. ;)

by the way, i still havent heard nothing about that parking ticket smart car and the periscope !!!

think he might have saw my threatening post on here lol :)

or had trouble focusing on my slanty front numbeplate ;)

The carpet outside my office is getting worn out with you lot...... :lol1:

you love it really:norty:

Well I do know someone who did this very recently.:brickwall ;)

Steve wasnt this for the GATSO?
Not sure if the Redlight cameras are the same:wonder:

Paul,
I saw a box van on the M25 with a cylinder type thing on the roof and it had CONE WATCH written down the side, so it may not be a police camera at all.

HTH

Andy :)

Hello mate, long time no see!

That rings a bell, I think it did have something like that down the side, but can't be sure exactly as I only got a glimpse of it

Yeah i see this often on my travels :wonder: wtf is it " Cone Watch ?

Is it a cone washer ?

The elevated cylinder type part seems strange :freak3:
