Manchester mobile 'Safety' Cameras
Discussion
Saw one this morning on the A34 near the MRI that appeared to be a black Mitsubishi L200 with a camera in a cage on the roof - didn't look like a camera van at all! I've emailed them anyway, asking for more details, so will wait to see what I get back. Was sneakily parked in a row of parked cars.
Ju-Ju . .. sister in law . came across one illegally parked .. no signs to warn..... in the Hale area. Designed to cop the school runners. She was visiting one of her schools "feeders" at the time.
For those not in know.. they used plain white vans. These vans still white but have "30" lolly on rear doors which not much use when in lay-by looking like ordinary white van man parked up like chav uncouth stereotype
(which insult the real white van man) (Ju-Ju's description. By the way . she one non-speeding type anyway. She has the useful gadgets but she use them to train herself never to speed apparently

Did this vehicle have caged windows also? Did it have small print batternburg stripe running down the side?Sgt Bilko said:

If it is the one i am thinking of, it has an large amber lightbar across the roof. Possible front and back.

Good - schoolrun mums are a 
ing menace, driving is usually about 16th on their list of things to think about whilst driving.Lostusernamedamn said:
But is their "speed" ever the problem? Not in my experience.
Generally not, the fact they appear unaware that there are 1. Other vehicles on the road
2. Other children on the road
3. Edges on their car
4. Kerbs/Other parked vehicles
5. Drive large 4*4 type vehicles when they can't see over the steering wheel
Are the main cause of problem, BUT I do often (well I used to) see them scream up the road the second they have picked up their brat, oblivious to the other 50 odd kids wandering about.
