Scamera van A322 northbound Saturday 18th May

[Blues]

Just round the corner from joining at the Cricketer's junction.
The large arctic that I started to overtake hid it from my view, and it's a 50 mph stretch too

It's going to be a long 14 days...

[DB89]

Yep it's a pain in the bum that one.

[NormanD]

Often on the southbound between the big roundabout and the A30

I was lucky some months ago, just going over the brow of th hill
see the Scamera, stood on the anchors, just got my speed down in time

[shimmey69]

fingers crossed for you!!!

Who's patch is that? TV or Surrey it seems like no mans land I don't think I've ever seen a patrol car on there.

I went passed it as well this morning, first time I've seen it there for a long time.

Sure it's a speed camera van? We often put our anpr van there and that's our area for the next few weeks

Yep 100% small thing with two black windows one open, not the normal large transit size job that parks on the bridge.

Aaa argh, so I really do have to wait for the NIP, that really is a bloomin' nuisance ( or words to that effect) bds!

We have a large and a small one, both have the Windows that open at the back for the cameras.

If it's there tomorrow, wave as I'll be somewhere near it

[SVTRick]

Will give you a wave
You'll hear me before you see me

It's Surrey. Caught going toward M3 in Feb this year, 60 in a 50. Sent to the SAC for my sins.

Hmmm I've just checked and our van wasn't out, so looks like you'll have a 2 week wait

Thanks FE, as I suspected . Do you happen to know the current deal with driving awareness course? Are there set criteria? If it had been in the NSL zone I might have be within tolerance just, however it wasn't.

[prg123]

Is it illegal to stop and park in front of the van?

There are set thresholds for upper speed limits that the course can be given for............................... I cannot remember what they are (haven't given a speed ticket for ages!!!!! ) but Furry should be able to check or I'll have a look tommorrow.

You're unlikely to get a ticket below 57mph (speed limit + 10% + 2mph) albeit those are just guidelines so in theory you could get a ticket for 51mph.

No point in parking in front of the van, behind it there the back windows are is the place
Although if on the bridge then beside it hanging over the edge

I've often felt like doing that, just to ask how it all works etc, only for a couple of hours though

Often do that with Cold Calls, get into a lengthy discussion how it will benefit me or I'm so slow with turning the computer on and what buttons do I have to press, then getting it wrong so have to start all over again

They don't know that I'm no where near the computer just making myself a nice cup of coffee

You may still be in luck, our van was out but they didn't put it in the book, so I don't know where it went.
We were in sunny Farnham today........gawd I was bored
