Don’t forget to watch out for police bikes pointing toward you parked on the side of the road. The officer looking into the top box at the cctv bikes speed camera display on a laptop. Don’t know if they still have it but Warwickshire Police had a Honda NT700 setup that I have seen used in 30mph limits.
Gatso's are usually a fixed camera radar device, these vans use a laser. They can register the speed of almost anything moving, cars, bikes, cyclists and pedestrians.
Speed camera vans cannot give bikes a ticket. Theres no number plate at the front. I was in the same situation once and after realised they wouldnt have my reg unless the guy rubs to the front of the car and takes pics
They can issue tickets as they look through the screen and write your reg down and then issue a ticket that way ..... ask me how I know 😡..... although I am arguing it as there is no photographic evidence ...
Seriously? I'd be more concerned about those over 8000 hidden ANPR cams scanning and recording your whereabouts. Police know where you have been for two years. That's more intrusive than speed cams where it's in your hands whether they do something or not.
Xeria_ lol they a pain in Yorkshire like. Never see them in the 30 or 40 zones they always hiding round a corner in a 60 in the middle off no where lol
1700iDiGuy most camera vans have cameras facing both ways t catch plates on vehicles like bikes now. It’s also legal for the operator to log the plate if he manages to in the uk
Camera Vans in my area have Cameras all round, If there is no front plate you will have been recorded from the rear as you pass by, all recordings are time/date stamped and synced to the Video speed camera. They also record other offences such as no seatbelt & using a handheld phone.
Only the deliberately terminally dumb cannot (will not?) see it is all about the money, especially feeding as many as possible into the legalised bribery of a "Speed Awareness Course". Councils make eye-watering amounts from those courses, often run by a attention seeking volunteer for free and the vans have little affect on the dangerous nutters who use unregistered vehicles. And yes, with so much revenue to be gathered they WILL have thought about motorbikes single plate...
Not at all sure it is about making money. The local village wanted speed checks. The Police said. We don’t have the resources to do speed checks. I have a feeling that if it’s about making money they would have been there like a shot. Also if it is a money spinner there would be more safety vans about.
It’s easy to beat the system- don’t break the posted speed limit 😂- or remove the number plate, keep it with you as it’s just fallen off so will fix it when back home and the fine for not displaying a plate is less than that of 4 mph over a speed limit.
