Yea, try and get a sat nav in your car, drive at 50 mph by the clock, see what it says your doing on the sat nav, personally I think its a good thing, If I drive at tad over ie. 55 on the clock, im normally alright for speeding.

It takes a maximum of 14days I got caught less then a month after driving and it's aweful waiting for the NOIP to come through. How long have you been driving you may have to be very very careful otherwise bye bye licence

theres a bypass near me with no central reservation, dual carriage way. couple of years ago two young girls were killed instantly by a madman careering across three lanes and into a local park.
so now they have reduced the speed limit and put up two brand new speed cameras......... they were due to be switched on yesterday and someone has burned one of them and spray painted the other.
a sign has gone up on the roundabout at the end saying that. you cant catch a criminal with a speed camera
the man in the car had been banned for 12 years, had no licence, had stolen the car, had smack on him, was drunk, was racing another car and had 6 other people in the car with him............. catch that with a speed camera.
but you are probs right, it will have been an anpr van.

heres a tip....most of the police mobile camera units (van or traffic car) are fitted with
1. a camera
2. the signal from the camera is then routed to 4 auxillary systems:
a. a video recorder
b. a monitor
c. an anpr system with a radio link to the national database.
d. a speed evidence collection system (either automatic<radar or immage processing>...or manual <a button that is pressed as you pass two fixed locations>
for vans, there is often a traffic car or two up ahead and if your driving is dangerous then the police will stop you up the road.....if its minor then a ticket in the post....depending on the traffic and the officers mood you may have been ignored

Yes sorry guys me not reading what I was typing sorry to cause confusion.
My only advice is (and I am not condoning speeding) if you do see a van, BRAKE! sometimes it works....
OBSERVATIONS FIRST?!!!!!!....(ALLAROUND!)
safe to brake? (yes) then brake.....try not to lock a wheel or let the car tug neer or off side (attracts attention)
safe to brake? (no) do whatever NOT to make the situation worse....not worth stuffing sombody else or yourself just to save on the fine & points
Yeah I agree, a quick look behind should not go a miss (although in the eyes of insurance, it would be the guy behinds fault!) but still, fairs fair.
As for locking up... you'd be amazed. They really are only catching speeders. I am sure you could drive past raping a cat and they wouldnt really care...
