New Scamera van location - Crawley

[BO55 VXR]

Coming home from work today, I noticed a scamera van parked up on Crawley Avenue, (A2011), from M23 (J10) towards Crawley Industrial Estate, just past the slip road from Balcombe Road

That was there a long time then as a colleague noticed it at about 3pm. Especially as the car which had just passed him at speed, saw it, slammed on the brakes and skidded across the road!

No signs there for one either.

Well, I was sitting in the queue waiting to get to the motorway and a Bently Continental GT comes hooning off the roundabout, giving it beans, trying to shake the scooby on his back bumper.... Something tells me the scamera man certainly bagged a brace there....

I went past this ... it was an ANPR van with associated pursuit car/s up the road - it had a speed camera sign up but they always seem to do that.

Ah, OK...did see a cop car further down the road, never thought to put them together... Anyway, I guess then could still nab you if you were speeding.

That almost got me, nailing it up the slip road from Horley to adjust to the speed of the traffic and .....oh effing womens bits......

It has been there before.

Oddly enough, dual carraigeways are one of the
safest types of roads and there are no
pedestrians anyway.

Also, you can't measure safety in miles
per hour.

A definitive list of the mobile ones would be nice.

As I said earlier - it was ANPR at this location ....... they don't do speed.
