Unmarked speed camera van
https://www.visordown.com/news/gener...rthamptonshire
Pretty hard to claim the camera van is being used as a deterrent if it's camouflaged.

Re: Unmarked speed camera van
To be honest, camera vans (or plod with handheld speed guns) are most often positioned at obvious locations, such as in small villages situated on major A-roads where the limit temporarily drops from NSL to 30 or 40mph. If people don't slow down when entering those villages etc then I have little sympathy if they get caught.
On the other hand, I sometimes see marked camera vans set up on open, flowing NSL dual carriageways / motorways, and this smacks of revenue generation to me. It also causes further problems as inattentive drivers often brake suddenly when they spot the van. |

Re: Unmarked speed camera van
Northamptonshire has the least maintained roads in England with a lot of them, A as well as B roads, dangerous to bikers. They dhould spend some of the money on getting the roads somewhere near safe instead of it just being a cash cow
