How do Scamera Vans Work
Discussion
Drove past a Scamera Van this morning in a 30 zone, when I checked my speedo (too late I think) it was reading about 35. How do these things work? Is it laser based and snaps if your going over the limit and if so does it flash?
Please help so I can sleep tonight knowing at least one way or the other.

If it is indeed a speed trap, it will be laser based (you won’t see the beam) and there won't be a flash.

Chances are that your speedo will over-read slightly, so let’s hope you are under their prosecution threshold (10% + 2mph = 35mph), but that’s only a guideline.
I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until the 13th before you can begin to sleep easily.
Good luck!
I went past one this morning in Cambridge. First I know of it my origin o2 was buzzing 'Laser'. Accoring to the origin I was doing 36mph and I think it's pretty accurate so I'm probably b******d.
Could carry on about the road being empty, good conditions etc., but what's the point.
Bloody annoying - I had a clean licence since 1977.

OK my earlier post was 25 August and I have heard nothing. So it looks like I got away with it
Perhaps you benefited from a supposedly 'impossible' case of sweep error (the error being negative in this instance)
