Scamera Vans - can they get you both ways?
Discussion
Just a quick question for the great and the good that inhabit here, can scamera vans get you driving towards them and away from them? The reason being I've got a NIP through the post today (81 in a 60)but was zapped by a scamera van driving away from them. I thought (obviously wrongly!) that if they were set up for checking the speed of approaching traffic you were ok going in the other direction.
By teh way, I'm assuming I'll be collecting 3 points and a £60 fine, does this sound about right?

Correct.

They wouldn't be able to get bikes otherwise.

81 (would probably have had 85 or so on your speedo) in a 60 is pushing your luck a bit. Depends on local rules - you'll probably get an offer, or they might summons you.
I was clocked last year doing 52 in a 40 on a dual carriageway, leaving town, by a scamera on the other side of the carriageway that could only be seen once you had passed where the van was sitting. So they must have tagged my backside driving away from the van.
I was only 100 yards from the NSL, if i knew what i know now, i would have risked not signing.
They're all gonna burn in hell, along with vandals and estate agents.
