Im waiting to hear if Ive been caught by this one...

Saw it at around 1ish so be carefull if you are going up or down blue bell hill (A229) tonight. The van is parked on the roundabout that the A229 goes under.

Van NOT visible going north bound.

Carefull if you use this road today.

50mph Limit.

I'm not sure this section is the best place to have a spot-the-unmarked-car-and-speedtraps free for all!!

Because this section is for people who have legal enquiries/ advice in general. If every thread just turns into a camera locationathon then it'll be difficult to pick the wheat from the chaff.

Just buy a Tom Tom if you need help with camera locations!

Plus it's not much use for those of us who haven't got a clue where Bluebell Hill is located. I'm presuming it's in Scotland somewhere?

Why not try a "Heads up " in the appropriate section (South Coast etc)?

You'd have thought they would put a link on the old one!

Edited to have

That page is hardly educational! Just giving the Boroughs where the cameras will be, covers most of Kent!

Incidentially I'd suggest that the reason for not pointing out the location of mobiles on the message board is that they move so frequently! So as most of us don;t have Pistonheads in our car, by the time we see a post saying the mobile is there it will have gone!

Looked again at the Kent site and I notice that their site map says there is a mobile site at Nettlestead. There used to be camera signs on that road, they've gone. WOnder if it is still a site or not.

Granted, maybe this thread would be best in the South -East Section.

Although this section is titled 'Speed, Plod and the law' which seems the appropriate place to post such a thread....

The only reason this particular van location is mention is because it is NOT visible when heading north bound...

And as all camera and vans should be cleary visible im am just making people aware of one that is not... and in turn also slowing people down driving on this stretch of road so in fact i think this is the best place to advertise such information...

If people would prefer not to know where a camera van is hidden in order to slow them down and save their licence i would suggest not to read threads with titles like this one.
