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!

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

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.

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.
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.
