Disguised speed camera vans

[panrider_uk]

Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere - I did do a search but didn't find it.

Following on from the speed camera hidden in horse boxes in Wales, Derbyshire are now using vans disguised as builders vans.

No thats how you can tell there just trying to make money from us!

[panrider_uk]

Definitely - no question about it. There's no way they can say that its a safety camera van.

Wouldn't say builders van, more like campervan, espicially with the GB sticker and towbar

Also like the way they haven't informed the DVLA of the colour change

Riding down through Bath from Cardiff today, saw a couple of vans parked just in front of the speed lines you get on the road for stationary speed cameras on 2 seperate occasions on the A46. So reading this it could be something to do with this.

But then again I don't think thats too bad because the lines are there anyway, you're obviously meant to be looking for road cameras around them anyway so don't mind that

You can't really say it's just so they are making money though as if you are speeding, you are speeding and breaking the law. If you don't want to get caught, don't speed.

I do disagree with all the cameras though as I do speed. If I get caught though I will take the punishment on the chin.

We all know that when we see a speed camera, we slow down, as soon as we've passed it we speed back up again.

This prevents people from doing that.

My point still stands though. If you don't want to get caught, don't speed. It's not difficult.

Wish they did all those things and put that much effort into tackling anti-social behaviour.
Why don't they disguise camera's in anti-social hotspots?

[Stelmer]

All these speed traps.........someone's gonna cause a pile up by staring at their speedo rather than the road.

Oh wait, it happens every day.

Like most organisations, as long as the intended result is met then the side effects are often overlooked. I wonder, has there been an increase in people being run over?

If a road is dangerous enough to warrant cameras then the only ones in use should be the average speed ones that work over distance. IMO they are the most effective.
