Be Careful

Post by Tomahawk R1 »

In Exeter today, absolutely full of traffic police.

Pinhoe road was the worst area, 4 police cars 2 bikes and an unmarked camera van. First time i`ve actually seen an unmarked one in use. As i got closer to it, the 2 back windows were blacked out and you could just make out the cameras behind the glass, Also a small generator outside for power, so obviously had been there a while.

Probably blitzing everything for tax dodging to no mots and speeding. :roll:

I hope you are right, I just dont agree with an unmarked van....seems to be a money maker.

I`ve not really got anything against the speed cameras, As long as they are used on accident blackspots or where there is a risk. Not on straight open roads.
