you mean they were checking people heading north on the A217 or heading south?

I thought "Specs" cameras are placed over x distance and calculated the speed between two points?

well ur right - spex are the average speed over distance cameras, so prob just a normal 'b@stard' point and click cam.

BTW : do they offer any leeway for overtaking on a motorway because sometimes you need to speed a little bit to get out of harms - way dont you !

I think it is probably 'just' a normal mobile camera van - one sits on the A217 quite regularly .... I am sure he gets many victims.

When bored he is known to visit Boxhill on the Mickleham Bends as you go towards the Texaco petrol station !

I went past this van today - it was parked on a slip road catching traffic coming from Burgh Heath and Kingswood towards the mad mile / Sutton .....

It is definitely one of Surrey's mobile speed camera Vans. Beware!
