Speed Camara and then a Camara Van?
 
Your Once, Twice, Three points a mabye?

How do justify putting this van just after a fixed truvelo?

B489 Dunstable gliding club today 1345.

Sorry about the quality of the photo but i had to go up the dual carriageway a bit so i could take photo! :saint:

Outrageous waste of money. Oh well, you know what they say....you got to speculate to accumulate:rodent::pig:

On the other hand, if you didn't manage to spot them in time to slow down, you shouldn't be riding (or driving).

Fixed Truvelo......Don`t think so! B4 you assume its a camera van, can you/did you see the rear doors etc? Are you sure it wasn`t just the chaps changing the film in the Gatso unit!

I agree with rcgbob44. However, perhaps the fixed camera is just a shell with no inners?

I had just driven past it and had stopped just up the road to take the picture and yes as i was going towards it the doors were open and they were filming. The camara is live too as a new guy at work got done by it last month, but like you say in the past have seen them servicing the camaras with such a van!

Looks like Bedfordshires finest 'Camera Safety' Van to me-they use a plain white one to change the films. They often site their vans where there are fixed camera's. Beeston on the A1-which is a 50 limit has 2 fixed cameras, both in the centre reservation and able to point either way, and I am still always seeing the van there-usually on the Northbound side. Northamptonshire used to do this lots as well-A14 at Kettering they park on the flyover just before you get to a fixed site-double jepardy.:flame:

I read about that this morning in MCN-thought about it driving to Kings Lynn-shouldn't be too dificult to fix them. They will have to be wired to the side of the road-ergo the actual stud that has the lens in should be fairly easy to identify-dark night, pickaxe, voila-no camera.:devil:
Much easier that Gatso's to fix I reckon-not that any of us would do such a thing of course, this is purely a hypothosis you understand.....................;)

You would not be done by two cameras in such close proximety. There is no "double" enforcement going on there, or anywhere like that.

Any member of their team will / can attend the camera sites in what ever vehicles available, thats seems the most logical explaination.
