@@KING0SISQO You're wrong I'm afraid. Common misconception. NO warning equipment has to be activated for trained police drivers to make use of exemptions. It's commonly stated by the public that the equipment has to be used but that isn't correct. It's down to the driver to justify and also to be accountable for their actions should they be asked to account for their actions in a court of law. Many of the public are also wrong on the "Can't use them unless going to an emergency"... the actual rule is "making use of warning equipment or exemptions FOR a policing purpose"... doesn't have to be an emergency call. If they were trying to discreetly catch up to a vehicle that had been reported stolen up ahead, say in an unmarked car, blaring a siren and flashing blue lights gives the game away completely and the driver of said stolen car might then take off, starting a dangerous pursuit when it's not necessary. On the other hand if an unmarked car with no lights activated and no siren overtakes a car or two it's less noticeable and less obvious.

The use of ANPR (which this van has) is powerful in stopping the larger criminals and known thieves. Criminals have to travel so the more they can be tracked on their location, these “flagged” vehicles will be stopped, searched and wanted suspects arrested. Remember Jack the Ripper was caught because of his number plate, it’s a useful tool. Unfortunately the only way we can get more police on the streets is to increase our council tax, but we’d all moan about that too.

@mattward2479

3 жыл бұрын

ANPR is great on travelling police vehicles which are ready to act. By chance we drove by our stolen van on the motorway (with a new number plate 8 hours after going missing). When the thief recognised another van with the same sign writing they erratically pulled off the motorway, down a slip road, smashed in to 2 cars, drove off and was never seen again and we never heard a thing back on it after reporting all this as it was happening. Surely a white Mercedes sprinter with a red Nissan micra registration plate travelling down one of the biggest motorways in Britain should have been picked up by a fixed ANPR camera? No because they don’t spend money on them or policing them because they won’t make as much money as mobile speed camera vans. The mobile speeding camera vans and the operators in them will have a huge set up and running cost which is mainly spent as the vans make money. Real officers fighting real crime is what we need. Can those vans detect a drink driver weaving all over the road doing 50 on the motorway in an old banger that just scraped through its MOT. No. Can actual police cars with actual officers driving around the roads looking for all forms of crime. Yes. The money being spent on the mobile speed vans is purely profit driven.

The issue with speed control is that it is taking your mind off controlling the car and observing the driving environment. When a speed camera van is seen the first thing I do is check my speed. How long does it take? Rather than having police vans maybe a better system would be to have tech built into the car to warn of overspeed or control the throttle/brake to stop you going over speed. Sat navs can do the audible warning but it needs to be upto date. Road works are difficult and the average speed assessment types are a night mare. So it makes me annoyed to have a police Sargent say no one else is to blame but you. I bet you have gone above 33 mph many times mr Sargent.

If the police don't attend a minor crime immediately it's not because they can't afford its because they're massively under staffed.

The faster you hit something, the more inertia there is that has to be dissipated. Of course, not every collision is the same, combined with the design and build of the relevant vehicles, hence the reason why some walk away, whilst others leave on their back in a bag, or in several bags.

I'm an advanced driver of 42 years and I have to admit that I speed everyday and jump red lights (early of course) but I still think these guys do a great job. Most people who speed are shit drivers, have no observational road reading skills, drive shit cars and just put their foot down and hope for the best. When I go out to make a journey in my car I always walk around the car to check my tyres. If I approach the car from the front I always walk around the back of the car to make sure there is no obstacle or more importantly a person behind the car. If I pull away on the road I check behind by using my mirrors but I always look over my shoulder as mirrors have blind spots. I was surprised when I had advanced driving lessons and then took my advanced test that most of the stuff I learned was just basically common sense such as, don't drive too close, slow down when it's wet or dark or both, use brakes to slow down instead of gears as you can control the vehicle more easily and safely with brakes than gears and brakes are cheaper to renew than a clutch and so on. These guys do a necessary job in areas where residents are are worried about their kids being knocked down by speeding idiots who can't drive.

To be fair, the Police aren’t forcing anyone to speed and everyone behind a wheel knows the rules of the road. I’ll confess to speeding occasionally but when I do I know I can’t complain if I get caught. It’s important the speed limits are policed and there are consequences for exceeding them. Otherwise even more people than already do would drive way above their capability level and/or demonstrate poor judgement.

When I once diagnosed charging problems (alternator) on vehicles, I would ask the driver if the charging light was on full or half brilliance (can help diagnosis) I was amazed at how many drivers told me that they do not know, because they never looked at the dashboard. This admission led me to believe that they probably were also not monitoring their road speed. This also gave me an insight as to why past vehicles, that ''had'' a temperature gauge, had overheated and in some cases, caused engine damage. The same thing applies for the low oil warning light. Regularly checking ones instrument panel can save a driver expense not only on possible engine damage, but also that costly letter from H.M.C. Traffic Division.

In my experience the vast majority don’t. Speeding isn’t synonymous with good driving and often (probably more frequently) it’s the opposite.

Travelled 277 miles from Essex to Blackpool the other night. Felt like 99% of that trip was on motorway sections with variable and average speed limits. So in the 4.5 hours it took me to get home, late at night on clear roads I was subject to ridiculous limits of 40 or 50mph! Im now waiting for a potential letter to arrive informing me how many points I have. These pointless limits were up and down like a yoyo and totally frustrating, as were the rolling Road blocks (lorries overtaking lorries both at 60mph). This isn't about safety, it's about the gov making car journeys difficult maybe under the pretence of emissions!

I've lived in my area 15 years and all that time the speed vans have always parked in the EXACT same spots to grab some cash. These spots are not even accident blackspots they are quiet country lanes with no built up areas or pedestrian paths etc. There's 2 accident hotspots near me on an A road where they have muliple accidents literally every month and have done for years due to speedsters and guess what?

Your car odometer will read 30mph, the actual true speed of the vehicle will be 27mph. The camera van will also give you a percentage of tolerance over the limit. So if you stay within the odometer limit you are significantly below a speed at which you can be prosecuted. Don’t speed. Don’t give your hard earned money away.

Karen the tax collector - could never morally do this job or a parking inspector - just not right. We all speed sometimes but often drop back down to the right speed when we notice it.

Surely it’s a bit pointless saying that the van is painted in bright colours when they measure your speed instantly when you pop into view a kilometre away, before you even have chance to react? At the end of the day if you break the speed limit it’s a risk that you take that you get caught, but a van can hardly be seen as a deterrent if they use that kilometre range to ambush people as they come around corners.

I would 100% support zero tolerance around schools etc but it does seem that on occasions, different vans are deliberately trying to catch people out.

No, it's the severity of the sudden stop which is governed by the impact speed.

Try driving in Somerset. The speed limit varies hugely between 20 M.P.H. and 60 M.P.H. and just for amusement they are changed from time to time. I spend far more time, effort and concentration trying to work out what the speed limit is than I do looking at the road. Very dangerous indeed! With all the money they must rake in from speeding fines it is no wonder the Somerset and Avon police have such big balls.

Only inappropriate speed kills. Any police driver will tell you , you don’t spontaneously combust when you hit 150 mph 😇

I think I was just caught today, driving around the speed limit all day, stopped for a red light and decided to have a bit of fun and floor it for a few seconds, went past a corner and saw a bloody speed camera van facing me, obviously I slammed on the brakes, but I heard that once you have seen them, they already have your speed recorded. I know I was going fast, but I have no idea how fast as I only looked at the speedo when I had slowed down. Been driving 8 years and no offences so I'm literally praying I only get a speed awareness course. 🤞

Hiii what they give you if they caught you for first time

If on a motorbike riding towards the front of the van, if you was being a bit fruity then saw the van and slowed down, would the front camera still pickup the speed on approach even if you dropped it before reaching that camera at the back ?

A few years back I was driving on a road I used quite a lot its very steep and downhill, there was a white van sign written like it was a builders vehicle, The back doors were wide open revealing a speed camera, it was left like that for a few hours, obviously someone realised what they were up to. I myself had got a speeding ticket on the same road prior to this and I could never remember seeing a police speed camera van. I realised as soon as I saw the ‘builders van’ that was the one that got me. Very sneaky move by the police!

No, it's the speed just prior to that sudden stop that determines the level of physical trauma and damage. So impact speed is a fundamental component of a collision.

Fine, now lets see all the other traffic violations being upheld on the road. So many times I've seen the police drive past infringements seem not to really care about ensuring highway code is observed along with the laws that are built around it . Guess this might be a start ? Also observe police (not on blue lights ) not observing 20 mph zone . Guess that we "all" need to think a bit more about our driving .

I am curious about that, cause I know the lasers used by stuff like speed guns operate outside the visible light spectrum, but some lights release a lot of stuff like UV light that you can't see in addition to the light you can. I doubt there's any kind of dazzle effect though, after all, lasers and visible light are very far away from eachother in wavelength I'm fairly certain.
