Default Speed Camera Vans......
Grrr, just had a NIP through the post. 35 in a 30 zone. Fair dos I say, however look at the shitty way they're catching us........

Taken from the FAQ sheet that came with the NIP

Q This is all about raising money
All fines received go back to the Treasury. The Partnership including the Police do not receive any money from the fines

Whilst the above maybe true they have targets to meet and would go someway to explaining the position of the camera van, slap bang on the change over from a NSL (60mph) road to a 30mph zone.

A google photo of the positioning in question

The arrow shows my direction of travel, the X is where the camera van was sited and the sign ringed is the 30mph sign after a 60mph NSL road



If thats not positioning the van to up the prosecutions then I don't know what is.............
Theres not even any residential buildings for at least another 1/2 a mile!

Now I remember quite clearly this day and I remember slowing down for this van and I suspect they may have clocked me before I entered the 30 zone and I will be asking for photographic evidence. If I have been clocked in the 30 zone (bear in mind I will have been slowing down at the time of being clocked) then I'll hold my hands up and admit I'm in the wrong and hope I get offered the speed awareness course instead of points!

I wouldn't mind so much if I was in my Impreza but I was in my dead slow and stop 206 Derv!!

Typically the motorist is the easy target.

*rant over*
