Hi all. I need a little advice I think!!

I was coming home from work tonight down the A34 doing "perhaps" slightly above the speed limit and I saw the van a little too late to do anything. Question is, I don't actually know if it was one of the scameras that does you from the van or not? Thing that makes me think twice was that about half a mile down the road on a kind of layby (just before the next available turn off) was a badged up beemer and an undercover Skoda that looked as though they were waiting for someone to go past.

The van was a Transit (or similar) and there was two camera's, one out of the top left and one out of the top right rear windows.

Does anyone have any advice as to whether or not the two BiB would have tugged me if I had been caught, or should I expect a nice new picture of my car?!

Probably ANPR. You live to speed another day, though probably not there again, eh?

I sincerely hope it's ANPR, that's what I was hoping.

I do the 100 mile round trip every day to work and have done **mph down that road every day for over a year. If I do get done for it, so be it, I am actually of the opinion that I deserve it (if it happens) for doing the speed I was doing! However, I don't deserve it if I wasn't caught!!!

Like this ?




ANPR with 2 cars to do the stops...no doubt if you'd been extracting the urine too much they'd have stopped you.

Sleep soundly tonight smile

Even ANPR will do speed check (from watching Chopper Coppers/Interceptors) although you would have been stopped if they'd been interested.

No it's open to abuse. The government has no limits on its right to track. You can be stopped, searched and possibly arrested just for association.

Can you name a police power that isn't open to abuse? I'm rather keen on them catching uninsured drivers so I'm prepared to take the risk.

Indeed ANPR is one of the very few uses of automated enforcement I agree with.

Is the reply from someone who can not comprehend what goes on around them but believes they actually do.

He was uninsured due to a cock up between him and his insurance company. Where's the difference between that being picked up by ANPR, by trafpol pulling him over, or worst of all by having an accident?

If you are driving without insurance for whatever reason, the police should be able to find out and stop you.
