Pretty 100% sure much I have been caught doing around 48 in a 40 by a mobile van

He was parked behind the bridge support on the left
250 meters before the 50 sign
ah well, here's hoping I get the speed awareness course :/

A bit of twitter poking, 1st time a speed van has been there in 2 years, 2 months.
Last was Jan 2013.
I think this is more a case of no one bother to report it now, as it's there more often than not.Last was Jan 2013.
I regularly drive this stretch of road, and find it a suprise now when there isn't a van parked on one side or the other, quite often both.
Why this bit of road isn't 50/60 or even 70 MPH is a mystery to me, other than it boosts the coffers.
This time it was 11.00
I only went this way from Chorlton to Warrington because Barlow moor road was chocca going the other way
I very rarely go through there in normal daytime hours

The course is better as the points affect your insurance for 5 years
The OP is in his 30's, has been driving for 16 years and would now be getting his first 3 points. I don't know what he drives currently but his last car was a Mazda so presumably its nothing too flash.How much do you realistically think this is going to hurt him from an insurance point of view? Combine that with the fact some insurance companies are hitting you for going on the course anyway, and for me its an easy just to just take the 3 points and keep my weekend for myself.
I live in Manchester so don't need to give my insurance any excuse to jack my premium up :/
