Has the 'enforcement trailer' come to the UK?

[sealtt]

I was driving on the M27 on Friday and could of sworn I saw one of these hi-tech 'enforcement trailers' in a lay-by being picked up by a truck.



Anyone know for sure if they are being used / trialled here now?

Amazing how these can detect alcohol and drugs in drivers doing 70mph, as well as phone use and lane hogging...
A facetious statement but wouldn't it be good if they could though? Take the emphasis off speed and put it on fkwittery instead.

Friday you say... that would have been April 1st, wouldn't it?

It's one of those tandem-wheel tractor unit jobbies. As for the trailer, nothing a bin-liner won't cure.

exactly - armour-plated and with an alarm to stop vandalism, and a 2p black bin liner would disable it

Yes and so would a gallon of unleaded - permanently

Lifting Axle when unloaded - very common.

No these are not in the UK and this wasn't on the M3.

Date though? Bit late for April fools, or is it part of the April fools?

Always useful to have a bin liner in the car

[RobinOakapple]

Always useful for the people setting these things up to have a couple of cameras watching the thing itself...

If that's armoured then I would not fancy the chances of anyone who leaves the road inadvertently. Surely with all the regulations around barrier deformity and new impact-absorbing signposts this is a total step backwards in safety?

You obviously didn't see the red triangle in front of it. How could anything possibly be dangerous when i has a warning triangle in front of it.

I'm surprised they haven't banned overbridges with all that dangerous concrete!
