Was fun that day we went Matt 
They've had vans up there for a while, Matt had a close encouter with one whilst trying to overtake a bmw 
Did anything come of that in the end?
it was cheeky as fcuk though with it being just a silver van with a camera poking out

All the local pheasants seem to want me to run them over Over the last couple of days loads have run out in front of me. Stupid birds

Them people are too slow
I've done it in my 1.2 Corsa and I don't know if I'd manage an average of 50 but my car with a 1.6 I'd guess probably could. It depends cos obviously there'll be a few cameras along there so it depends where they are. I hit 95 at one point where it's a fairly straight climb but some of the twisty bits aren't all that slow.

So not a stationary camera as they are fitting but a moveable one like can be positioned on 100% of uk roads?

This time of year is quiet good really. Can be a little damp, but nice and sunny at like 9-10 am on a sunday. Use to batter the peak district in the corsa days! No wonder the gas escaped the shockers

Cheshire/Derbyshire Police were using "disguised vans" for a while; as said above, horseboxes and builder's vans have been used. I'm sure they stopped this about 18months ago when legislation over camera sites and their markings was introduced but Ben J is right, they did use disguised vehicles/trailers as camera locations
