went for another ride around tivvy, crediton and barnstaple etc today. ..Just as you come out of Crediton from the Newon st cyres/exeter way there was a blacked out silver van with a camera poking out the back of it sat behind a hedge, around a slight corner and hill.. So very had to see and slow down once you've seen it. I had no problems wih it but there were some cars goin pretty fast past it that i didnt think realised I then saw him on the way back parked in coppleston (crediton) hidden in a layby fishing for more people to f!ck over.. this isn't the first time i've seen these vans along this road.. so for anyone who commutes along this road etc.. keep it in mind if you don't know about em already..

Anyone else know of any notorious points where these vans/speed traps sit?.. Thanks, Tom.

There always along the the A377. Cowley and in the bottom of Newton st cyres are some of the hotspots.

yeh all the time lol, Where ya get your knee down to? I need to try sometime lol, Better buy some kneesliders first though ahaha

there's a longgg corner on the A377 that i got right over on and just caught my knee.. and i've never really tried to get it down before so I went to this quiet roundabout near my house and went round that about 30 times haha i now have no chicken strip atall on one side and a fat one on the the other.. and jeeeez these tyres are sooo much grippier than the other sh!te i had on there before! haha yeh might be an idea to get some sliders first mate

I got caught out in barnstaple today...a camera van parked in a layby 20 metres in front of a gatso.I fail to see the reasoning behind this other than a money making exercise.
