Default Black STi VU03*** A419 Cirencester-Swindon

As title says.
Followed me for a few miles and then overtook me up Blunsdon Hill (50mph limit).
Had the same car pass me whilst I was running it in about 2 weeks ago.
I was in a blue STi VU54***

Watch out for the speed camera that sits by the red light camera.

Hi MattW

I always go through at 50<mph. It's just a red light camera and not a speed one. It's the mobile cashpoint vans along the A419/A417 that's the problem.
What do you drive and are in Swindon much?
Do your 3 addresses mean you have 3 houses

The mobile cashpoint sits next to the red light camera, occasionally.

I grew up in Wrexham and spent my early twenties in Oswestry, now in Swindon



I've got a red Evo 8 Fq330 and live not far from where you spotted!!

....and other danger-zones round here include:

A417 - approaching Cirencester from Gloucester, scamera van sits in the lay-by (just up the hill from the dip) before the Quarry

A419 - Cricklade bridge - Regular one here. If you see any white vans on the bridge at Criclade, hit the brakes. Normally picks on the southbound carriageway, and very prevalent during rush-hour.

A419 - At the bottom of Blunsdon hill, scamera van or video equipped motorbike sits in the tarmac area that's bollarded off in the central reservation - just before the Farm entrance when heading out of Swindon. He has had me heading into Swindon before - which is sly, as you can't see him til the last minute due to folliage.

A419 - Bridge over the 419 at Covingham, quite often mobile bike scamera sat on the bridge.

Also apparently a big clampdown on M4 roadworks speeding - J16 (or is it 15) to 18ish - again, sat on the bridges in the scamera vans.
