Hello

Need a quick bit of advice. Does anybody know if the yellow CCTV vans with "Caught on Camera" operated by Avon and Somerset Constabulary are used for speed enforcement. I passed a parked one this evening at a number of digits above speed limit (48 in 30).

If it helps their was one officer sitting in drivers seat who gave me a dodgy look as I passed.

Thanks guys.

Andy.

I'm in Somerset, but I've never seen or heard of them, but I would say you're 99% safe from a speeding penalty.

I think they're CCTV. What's more concerning is how you failed to spot a 3.5T bright yellow van. wink

I have only seen them around Bath. No where else in the area.

It was hidden behind a bigger truck.

Nah, they are just the standard Vitos fitted with front and rear CCTV cameras for hoodlum detecting. I think only the ones in Bath/E District are that interesting canary yellow colour. Not interested in speeders. Take the dodgy look as a bit of a gypsy's warning!

Also used in Warks - AFAIK fitted out with only CCTV -

What's even more concerning is that you were doing 48 in a 30!
