Vans also have a forward facing camera to record additional details. The cameras a synched for the avoidance any doubt.
I believe, that whilst the cameras have an operational range of over 1km, forces tend only to capture speeds within 400m.
Can anyone confirm? |

I thought I’d been caught the other week on the A64 out of York towards the A1 when I saw a van Parked facing towards me…… but Nope, never heard anything and I was totally convinced I would be so you may be lucky |

It's no longer a photo either, they now use video. You can view it if you wish.
Many traps now use a camera on a pole as well, as the cameras in the back of the van. Some local rural roads are now also fitted with average speed cameras. |

As bikes can't be identified from the front, I'm told there's a front facing camera to get the plate when driving away, however, the front facing camera isn't triggered by speed, it's only after the rear facing camera snaps you. |

"Well I’m ten days in and nothing yet. Wednesday can’t come quick enough lol I always give it a month to be sure x "
I always thought it was law to be issued in 14 days but I'm sure I checked recently and I'm sure it says you have to be served in 7 days |

"I over took a car today doing 60km in an 80 km zone.. just as I was over taking the car a speed van caught me which I didn't see until the last second.
 "
So you have nothing to worry about if you were doing 60 in an 80 zone  |

The car in front was doing 60km. So I speeding up to over take.. so I may have been doing over 80km in order to over take in a time. |

Sneaky cops in North Yorkshire use a unmarked kawasaki they ride behind you so you think it's just a rider tagging along so you relax and open up then bang you get caught . I know we should not speed but it wasn't me lol |

Round my way the speed vans depend on the forward facing camera to snap the plate. If I’m winding it on, see the van in time and it’s ok to do so, I pull in, stop and wait till a vehicle or two pass the van before proceeding. So far so good |
