Do speed camera vans have cameras in the front ?

[AzzA1990]

Good evening all, i today was coming out of a corner on my bike and there was a a big yellow speed camera van that i instantly noticed the front of the van was facing toward the front of my bike coming out of the corner, i immediately slowed down and passed the van at 40mph (50mh road) i could see the cameras hanging out of the back doors of the van in my mirrors but by that time i was well below the speed limit, to be fair i don't even think i was above it anyway but there is always that worry you know?

Many thanks!

Front camera is usually for catching bikes (numberplate) after they have gone head on towards the rear of the van.

I think you will be fine in this instance, feedback in 2-3 weeks,

I could be wrong, but each of the cameras around the van (often all around) could identify you as speeding, but the open window one is the one they use for evidence of the actual speed. I seem to remember something about the police issuing guidance to speed camera operators that they had to use a laser-equipped camera not obscured by a window, aimed at your vehicle by someone. If I understood it correctly, the other camera footage (not operated by the operator) could be used to reinforce evidence that it was your vehicle, and not somebody else's, that was speeding. But the aimed camera through the open window with its built-in speed thing is the only one that can be used to evidence your speed.

The way this works in practice, the way I understood it, is that the digital automatic cameras highlight or ping a speeding road user on his way, and alert the operator. The operator then has to physically put down the pie and get in his chair at the back (or front, or side, whichever has the open window), aim his camera at you and take a snapshot. If that camera shows you were speeding, the other cameras' evidence will be used to support the prosecution. But if it doesn't, then no action will be taken.

You know what I wish I'd fucking kept it cos you're not the first person that has asked to see it. When I got the letter obviously I filled it in with the driver's name and address and sent it back. If I remember correctly the bit to fill in was on the back of the letter so unless I had scanned it there was nothing for me to keep.

But I do know for fact (how much other people want to take what I say as gospel is up to them) that this 10% + 2 is a national guideline and most constabularies abide by it, but clearly not all!
