Camera Van

Postby slparry » Sat May 05, 2018 6:50 pm

Riding home from work yesterday I went through Hawarden towards an area known locally as "Tinkersdale", as you're leaving the village it's downhill and there's occasionally a camera van there to scoop up those who've allowed their vehicle to pick up speed. Being honest there's no houses there just a poorly used car park. The camera vans in north Wales are run by a private firm I believe.

Yesterday the camera van was there but I paid it little heed as I knew I was within the 30 limit.

This morning when I logged onto Facebook, I was surprised to see the van, it appears someone checked its plates and its MoT expired in February :D

I suppose a good lawyer would get you off stating the van should not be on the road so should not be operational

I saw a van parked out on the A170 near Helmsley at 20:30 on sunday night, I was surprised, I thought they were all tucked up in bed by that time of night, be careful out there.

Aye, Keen in North Yorks. My missus got a speed awareness course cos of one parked up on the super Helmsley to Thirsk road.

I overtook a coffin dodger in a 30 footx6foot jag. 57mph. My fiat Scudo is a commercial vehicle.

The management/regulatory systems set up in all areas of commerce do not want whistle blowers. It causes them work.

Son in law went on a speed awareness course and was sat next to a guy who was on his 5th. That worked for him...not.

Best plan is not to get caught and be super careful.

I recently read on the 'net (so it must be true :lol: ) that vehicles maintained in Crown workshops, don't require an MOT. No idea if this is the case or not?

Its true - 'a vehicle provided for police purposes and maintained in an approved workshop' is exempt.
