Sometimes the Vans can be ANPR vans checking Tax/MOT/Insurance etc, with cops waiting further up the road to stop anything that's flagged, they don't register speed, otherwise will have to wait for post. Sometimes they don't catch you, I know I was doing 45ish in a 40 and went past a "partnership" van, yet nothing came through.

I took it on the chin tbh , i was doing 44 in 30 so a little lucky as its normally a lot more on that particular strecth , i did find out that alot of people got done down this road and there are few warning signs 30mph zones .

My own fault lol
