was driven up to my dads this morning, was in a 30. had a stupid 20mph sunday driver in front of me, it pulled into a shop i was in 2nd so i floored it went up to 50ish mph when i spotted the samera van i stood on the brakes as i came within 20-30m of it and got to 30. i would have been partly obsured by walls and cars but im sure it parked in such a way it could see up the straight, seen the cunt writing something as i went past.

the question is at what distance do they recored your speed? is it an average?

ajamesc

if u can see it its already too late!

as above, think i got done on the way into RIAT yesterday,
the can read your plate from miles away but the van has to be visable from a 100meters or something before they can nick you

The problem is they don't 'have' to be visible - It's one of the guidelines, but it's not a way to wriggle out of the fine as it's not illegal if they're not.

It's definitely a case that 9 times out of 10 they see you before you see them, and it's not an average, it's a virtually instantaneous recording via a frickin' laser beam.

Hopefully if he was writing something, then he was distracted and didn't 'ping' you.

although im thinking the one i see maybe an anpr van instead as it wasnt signed up as a speed camera van and it didnt have the rear windows open, just tinted rears

the new mobile one around York can see you at 1000 yards and can tell if your on the fone and wearing a seatbelt

NoRubNoDub

it wasnt, less than 50, was blocked by cars and walls, loophole?

Forget loopholes, just ask Tabetha for a go on his three magic letters!

this was on the a417 near letchlade, there was also apolice motorbike a few miles down the road

NoRubNoDub

id say he was writing my reg or the time, will i get away with the 3points and fine?

the worst thing is that i fitted a mountune cais yesterday and only floored it there because the car had just warmed and i wanted to here the induction roar

I've seen a camera van half dozen times while doing over 50 in a 40, I've still got no points so must be a minimum time of some sort to be caught.

NoRubNoDub

..........eh?

focusv8

Don't worry about getting done for speeding, he was probably noting that you were driving dangerously

kosman

they wouldnt always have them set for 30 would they? thought they can give you a leeway.like it wont ping unless your over 35 in a 30?

paul0461

as said initially, if you can see the Van. chances are your too late. they caught me once and i was SURE i was obscured passing by 2 lorrys

NoRubNoDub

id say its got me over 40 anyway

NoRubNoDub

so whats this Tabetha thing about?

DanW@FastFord

iTrader: (1)

You'll have to ask him. He brings them up whenever speeding fines are mentioned. I've no idea what's in them!

ST24MK2

i thought that tabetha was a bot on here or summet? lol

NoRubNoDub

he hasnt been on since yesterday, i wonder when ill get my letter, i mite take off my belt, bend over by the letter box and wait

NoRubNoDub

anyone know how long it takes for the letter?

Marcyg

Any time upto a month I 'think'. I thought I'd been caught in my missus Mondeo a few months back, turned out to be an anpr van, so you 'may' be lucky. Don't be suprised if a summons come thundering through the door tho

We don't have ANPR vans here, so it won't be one of those

NoRubNoDub

Its was defo a camera van, it had the speed camera sign on the side

probably find they were marking down the time so its easier to marry the tape up later at the station. Also makes it easy to add up total tickets to be issued and hence the tally the cop needs to add to his league table

Generally they have 14 days to issue the Notice of Intended Prosecution, so if you've not got anything within a fortnight chances are you've got off.

thats what i thought
