Back To The Future - M4 style
Discussion
Travelling along the M4 this week, I spotted a Scamera van perched on a bridge in wait of innocent victims (photo 1).
My speed was just below 70 on this occasion as I was expecting the Scam van to be there. Every day this week they've been busy from the bridges, sometimes they're still at the same bridge hours later on my way back home. I guess there's a never ending supply of victims on a much used motorway such as the M4.
Anyway, the funniest thing happened as the second photo shows.
In my offside wing mirror I spotted a De Lorean approaching from behind. At that moment I had a strange feeling of deja vu, and I glanced across and I'm sure I saw Doc Brown behind the wheel.
I reckon he may have gone through the scam about 5 minutes earlier, stopped ahead having realised that he'd been doing may be 85 or so, and although that's only an average motorway speed he didn't want to risk getting a ticket, so quickly set the time machine gubbins to travel back in time that 5 minutes and come past again at 75ish, when I saw him.
Perhaps that would explain the strange deja vu that I felt, or perhaps it was just because the bloody Scam van was there every day this week!

You may wanna be aware that these speed trap vans usually have a moving video camera which can be used to photo drivers with no hands on wheel or holding a phone to take a photo!
