Hi,

I passed one of these today set back in corner of a bend - only visible in the rear view mirror once full round the bend pointing down the straight with both top windows open (and cameras exposed).

My question:

Which direction do these speed traps generally try to capture speeders:
approaching the van or accelerating away?

Thanks

 

In the east of england they work both ways....... In a local paper the other week they had a pic of a biker doing well over 140 from the back, i also know people who have been got head on....... Bast*rds!

 

Thanks, so if you are a biker closing up on a van then you're probably ok I guess (no plates on the front).

Having said that the one I saw today was in a different poistion on the return journey, maybe it was being ready for configuration on the first pass.

 

I had one facing me almost 4 weeks ago, i was doin 36 on a 30,i got a letter saying 3 points and 60 pound fine,I returned the letter to dispute it due to the fact that a police car was coming up from behind us so i had to speed up a little to get past a traffic island in the middle of the road so he could get past,I have,nt had any reply yet,touch wood,

 

definately work both ways, my m8 got done going both ways in the same day past the same camera van. daft t1t.

 

Why don't you stop and ask them . .Then you can tell us!
