I dont think there are rules as such, they are ACPO guidlines.

there was some rule about signs and visibility, but it depends on whether that county is claimging the money from the cameras or not. Anyway, I think a lot of the rules have been relaxed in time, ,;but that might be just rumour.

I got done in Lincolnshire for 73 in a 60 limit, in the middle of nowhere. THere were markings on the road, but then there are dozens of them on the A52. The van was on the OPPOSITE side of the road, and I spotted it. The camera was black and sat on my side, only noticed it when it flashed at me. It was the first time I'd encountered one of the vans so I was surprised to say the least.

Rules............? There are also some rules about excess speed but............................................... ..

The guidelines are not worth the paper they are scribbled on.

You will be wasting your breath with a local magistrate if you wanna argue the toss about the guidelines and circumstances of you heinious society damaging crime!

If you wanna look for loopholes, play the system or whatever there is no better webiste than www.pepipoo.com

Speed on its own doesn't hurt anyone but an accident at any speed does.

So...............and this may be a question for Tuesday, just how much attention are you paying to the road ahead, if you are getting caught by the speed vans?

Paying much more attention to other road users and "developing hazzards" than to possible camera vans, or in fact the EXACT reading on the speedo at any given time. Which is surely how it ought to be?

I was talking to a bloody idiot that had been using his mobile phone whilst driving, he said, " im a normal law abiding person, its those speeding nutters on bikes that you want to be catching why cant they be playing fair?"
