anth_85 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 rode past a van with a camera sticking out the back this morning. I was overtaking someone who had been going 15mph under the speed limit and had just pulled out of the fast lane so I might have accelerated a bit too much in my displeasure. The camera was facing towards the front of the bike so obviously no plate there for it to snap so I think I'm fine, but I just wanted to check no one had been done in this manner with some extra camera facing out the front of the van to catch the likes of us?

Guest Richzx6r Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I was under the impression they had a camera at the front too, but I could be wrong Good luck anyway Quote

Six30 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Some have definately got front and rear cameras , I know some one who got caught by one .Not sure if they all have . Quote
Bender Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I have seen them with camera out the back and one recording the front, have also seen plenty with just rear, front camera is just a time stamp vid so they can match you up with rear, I would say you have a 70% chance of not being had. Quote
fastbob Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I hate to say this but I'm fairly sure that the one that got me was parked on the left and facing away from me . Quote
anth_85 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 I hate to say this but I'm fairly sure that the one that got me was parked on the left and facing away from me . the camera was facing towards the approaching traffic, so the only way it got me was if they had another camera out the front windscreen. I do love my new macbook by the lack of a SD- card slot compared to my old laptop is a right pain. Plugged my dash cam SD card in will have to wait until i get to work on monday. Quote
Gerontious Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 from the FAQ Can speed cameras detect offenders travelling in both directions?Mobile speed cameras are used to monitor and detect offenders travelling in both directions passed the operator, achieving a front view of vehicles approaching and a rear view of vehicles driving away. Static cameras will only detect offenders travelling in one direction but some types can be turned on their columns to detect offenders either travelling towards or away from the camera, thus providing either front or rear view images of the offending vehicles.
