Sneaky Sods!!

[Mad Dave]

As you may have read in numerous news snippets, Wiltshire Police now have a mobile speed camera mounted in the back of a motorbike. Their reasons for this are apparently so that they can enforce the speed limits in small villages where the roads are too narrow for a scamera van. Well on Sunday I saw a use for the 'bike not mentioned in their press coverage - hiding behind the concrete support pillars of bypass flyovers!! Seriously, you could not see the bike at all until you were past, and even then it was only my paranoia of speed cameras that meant I was looking everywhere for them. Sneaky b@stards!! Unfortunately I was following someone somewhere so couldnt stop to take a picture - I wish I had, the press would have loved it!

Hey Dave

Where was this ?

[Mad Dave]

A36 Warminster bypass. As you go up the hill, they very often put a van in the layby on the left (NB: They now tuck it right in so that you only see it goes to dual lane, and are therefore generally overtaking!). Just before this layby is a flyover bridge - they had the bike completely hidden behind that.

Thanks, will have to keep an eye out for em as I'm up that way from time to time...

Cheers!

Likewise. Sneaky little s

Yes, don't anyone think the country will necessarily be a better place with more BIB and less cameras.

They always used to hide in bushes, over the brow of hills etc - i.e. generally staying out of sight to ensure that you get nicked.

Uh Oh, I better not try the usual fling out of the roundabout from now on then! Quite often clock three numpty units up that hill

Tell me about it - luckily I was in the car when I spotted it - an hour earlier I flew down that road on the bike - easily in 'license losing' territory.

So are you from the Warminster area then?

I've often thought of that mate, but knowing my luck i'd either fall off, or miss the plate and get done for Tax Evasion.
