Hey guys, I went past a transport police scotland van today on the hard shoulder with yellow flashing lights.

Couldn't actually tell if this is a speeding camera van as it had a small camera on the top of it rather than out the back.

Anybody able to give any insight? Cheers

I passed another identical van in Glasgow that had 'incident support vehicle' on the side :/

Transport police deal with public transport, usually trains.

Sounds like he was broken down on the hard shoulder.
I'm beginning to doubt myself now. The van was all yellow down the side, no blue. And had 2 sets of yellow flashing lights on the roof.

The van you saw was most likely a Transport Scotland van. They monitor traffic at peak times and attend crashes/breakdowns etc.

That's the one! Many thanks.

2) Even if they are, why do you need to go slower than the limit??

You've have loved muggins here, I just sailed past at 60 trying to see if it was a camera van, too late to react...
