This is my first post, need to find out what type of van snapped me last week.
on my way home heading north on A50 out of Leicester, I came over the brow of a hill to see a white van with 2 obvious cameras pointing out from its' back windows. It was did not say 'Safety Camera' anwhere on the van infact there was no signwriting at all, am I wrong in thinking these vans need to have signwriting on the side of them advertising what they are doing?

At the next roundabout there was a police motorcycle rider watching all the traffic that had just passed the van.
So what was it doing?
btw I was speeding-60ish in a 50 zone. Not big or clever I know.
