Think I may have been ‘got’ on the M4

[scooters]

Travelling east bound I saw a camera van on a bridge above the opposite carriageway. My concern is that it looked as though it had a window open facing me.

My question/ lack of understanding is that do you think I have been got? considering that the van was on the other side of the motorway?

Unlikely if on the other side of the motorway. But, you will know for sure in 14 days.

Depends what he is looking at: there is a point approaching Swansea where he sits over the eastbound carriageway to zap people going west as they come over the brow of a hill.... Says he waiting to see what happens...

There's a bridge between 17 Chippenham and 16 Swindon West - M4, where they sit over the West bound side and catch drivers on the East bound heading towards them. The bridge is at an angle over the motorway, which squares their van up to shoot across carriageways. Sneaky bstards.

yeah - i was about to ask if it was that one... its a downhill section with a bend too - so optimum to catch people straying over the limit...

if its any concelation, i had a similar incident at an indicated 80-ish - and didnt get anything in the post...

17-16 'tis the one. Suppose i'll just have to see what turns up in the post. 'doh

Also depends what speed you were doing. Ive had similar worries as I do that route 4 times a week.
I normally pas sthat way between 80 and 85 and have not been selected yet.
Have even been the only car in lane 3 too

FYI the scamera Van on the approach to the Severy Bridge Toles on the Second CRossing starts their shift @ 09:00
