Mr Speed Van

[Vitesse39]

Dumb question I know but....

On a bike, what does our friendly speed camera van do about gubbing bikes?

Do we get away with it ?
Does he dashout from the van and flag us down?

Should we just give him a respectful salute and spank it further ?

I'm still new to this but have been told some vans do have a front camera which can get you number plate if you are speeding.

But others shall be able to give you more information

I believe that they can measure your speed and then manually take note of your licence plate as you go past.

Currently working on that with a solinoid and hinges

Did have a flip plate on my zx6 , only question a copper asked me was "where can i get one"

Just had a quick look, seems pretty pricey, but you get the idea:

I wondered about that, but then thought that manually take note of your licence plate would enter a human element into it rather than all details being printed onto the photo, therefore keeping it all automated.
The other thing was, aren't they now supposed to be "the partnership", and not actually plods in the van just empolyees ?
