New Police Speed Cameras

[Big Nick]

There is a new mobile speed camera van in North Yorkshire that the police are using that is capable of capturing footage first forwards and then rearwards after its clocked you speeding thus effectively aimed at motorcyclists and their rear only numberplates.

The police will be publishing its location in advance on a week by week basis apparently

Not that anyone on here breaks the speed limit of course

I reckon just avoiding these routes (and why wouldn't you? ) would probably work 90% of the time anyhow:

Think you would have to pretty feckin stupid to speed going past a camera van. Don't care how many numbers plates you have.

All forces have to publish where they are going to be in advance. Here is the NY Police's Deployment page HERE

How will I know if the road is going to be safe, no way I am gonna attempt any of these lethal roads without the safety van there.

A64/Tadcaster junction as usual, both old and new Vans/cameras today.

Not interested in those peeps who cant drive just the speeders

Although only saw 2x vehicles that had been pulled and they seemed to be the Pickey look-a-like flat bed trucks.

Nice weather for it though

Funny, isn't it? We've just had the best year ever for road safety stats (2010) - with camera partnerships closing all over the UK. And TRL has just published a report showing how massively significant passive and active safety engineering has been in preventing deaths.

But no, it's all about sticking to the magic number on the pole, isn't it? Because sticking to the magic number makes you safe.

A64/Tadcaster junction as usual, both old and new Vans/cameras today.

Saw them there at 10.30 (still there at 6pm)
Several cars, as soon as they spotted the van, braked to drive at 50mph!
I agree - stop the drivers who cause havoc on the road by having no idea what they're doing!
