Noticed an unmarked black BM coupe parked facing west on the Speed Detector Van hump on the westbound carriageway near junction 2 yesterday ... anyone know what this car was doing there ?

The bit where the camera van sits just before the bridge?

Yep the Beltoft Bridge (where you accelerate back to cruisin' speed spin)

I would imagine they were looking out for speeders and other motoring offences. Like most traffic cars do.

I drive on the M180 a LOT - there are a good few unmarked cars on there lately. I've seen one with a private plate that picked up two cars racing a couple of months ago - Well, it only pulled one of them that I saw.

A coupe though. Never seen an unmarked coupe (or marked, come to think of it)

Ha, I'm very weary these days! I come past your house now as it's so much quicker, and less chance of being caught speeding.

I'm afraid it was a few months back and the offender had nearly hit me while I had the kids in the car so I was preoccupied.

I will make sure I get plates/details next time - I'm on there often enough, but I only remembered it because it was so unusual.
