Alright all.
Just went past a white van with no markings and tints, it had 2 cameras pointing out the back.
Would they just be checking for taxed vehicles , or can they do you for speeding too?
There was no markings whatsoever on said can.
Thanks

Do you remember what the camera's looked like ?
Could be ANPR, could be speeding. No legal requirement to announce what they are up to as far as I know.

Those are normally speeding ones.
Tax/MOT ones hide on bridges over carriageways I thought.

Yeah had two cameras poking out. I assume to get both sides of the road? No speeding signs at all...

But the speeding vans we have around here are all marked up? I've never seen an ordinary can with cameras pointing out both windows? It's the extra long van too not
The short transit usually :confused:

I've seen both and fitted ANPR to a few transits. As long as there is a speed camera sign within a certain distance from their site (can't remember exact, iirc its a mile), then they don't have to be marked up.
Although tbf thats the risk you take when you speed, you just have to accept that you were caught out this time.

Cameras probably caught you by the time you decide to slow down.
