Exclamation WARNING - En-route to Blyton

Every year when we go to Blyton the sCamera vans are out on the M180, so all those making their own way there please go carefully, especially on that stretch of clear, straight, almost empty road with its good surface and in the (hopefully) dry and clear weather I'll try and keep the convoy on the limit (if I'm leading) and the same goes for on the way home later. We all know about JB's proud moment

I'm sure those **** sit there every year expecting to get us...

All that time, expense and effort to sit on an empty, clear motorway....

Wouldn't be so bad if they were catching uninsured, untaxed and unlicensed drivers with ANPR or something... such a waste of resources.. it's almost criminal..

Car and bike flip down number plate used to hide your plate from radar detectors, gatsos, speed camaras and is un-detectable when fitted

and stick two fingers up as you go past at 160mph

Often considered the possibility of an LCD dot matrix number plate, just choose your reg at random

As you come onto the M180 off from donny service station, heading for scun thorpe there is a long stretch of motorway that is pretty much dead straight for a few miles, which has been speed camera free for a long time, but as you go past junction 2 signposted gainsborough the motorway is pretty straight for a few hundred meters more, then when you see a motorway bridge (it might be the 2nd bridge from j2), and at the same time the motorway curves left, so much so that you cant see the next 'straight' bit of motorway, or whats round the curve, so to speak, thats where the speed van normally is, approx 100m further on from the motorway bridge in the middle of the curve so you dont see it until the last min, and is usually there on weekends!

On the way back down the M180 there hasnt been a speed van for years, but every now and again they sit on top of the motorway bridges and get you with the gun thing

dont want anyone getting caught by the sneeky blighter now do we
