Hi!

Just wondering about this.....

When was the last time you saw one?

I used to see them often in Essex, but now can't remember the last time I saw one.

Mates also make similar comments.

Have they cut back on the QT for financial reasons?

Any Plod on here to shed light on this??

When did I last see one?
Yesterday, in Newbold Road, Chesterfield.

Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't see you...

Not seen a van for donkey's, I think it was by Basingstoke on the 50mph bit of the A33 on the way to Chineham... a few months ago at least.

Wow! I live one mile away from that road. I have not seen one in a couple of weeks, and that was on Sheffield Rd, Chesterfield.

Are you local? If so, what car and I will keep an eye out for you. thumbup

Still out and about in Lancashire, Scamera vans will only disappear when the council around here have made sure everyone has a man waving a red flag in front of them!

Seen one at Detling hill on the A249 in Kent a few times in the past couple of months. Saw an ANPR one on friday on the A13 near Corringham accompanied by 2 undercover cars, 3 interceptors and 2 bikes. Also seen an orificer standing on one of the bridges before the Dartford tunnel with a gun and another couple waiting at the toll booths, good round here it is rolleyes

there was one lurking in the 30mph zone of the benton commercial district in newcastle upon tyne.

You could see the damn thing a mile off, can't believe they would have caught anyone.

Interesting comments.

There has definitely been a reduction in Essex, with even some well known, favoured locations not being used for ages.

Just hope i don't come a cropper!!

Cumbria, all over the place. I think they have an obsession with speeding.

A361 from Barnstaple to Tiverton in Devon yesterday...

Think I'll be off to naughty school as I was passing a few cars when I spotted it. Less than amused that people slowed to 40mph, in the NSL, as they approached it. fking brainless tts!

A61 Pennistone road Sheffield ,A635 Mancunion way Manchester both within last ten days driving so the buggers are still about .

Two months ago they had a bit of a purge on all the local roads around Huddersfield, but that was plod and not the vans.

Maybe they are waiting for the rural 40 limit to kick in wink
