Police Vans

[sh0rty]

Anyone know what those police camera vans are actually getting you for? 2 cameras on the top of both back doors. Is it speed or stuff like, mot, tax & insurance, or stolen cars etc?

There's one constantly on the road by my house, accompanied with (today) 4 police cars and 2 motorbikes :o Seems quite OTT

generally they are for tax, but i think they can get you for speeding.





or are they staking you and kev out? lol

[Philsutton]

why tax dont they have this new way of sorting that out, its all on computer and if you dont pay/tell them its off the road you get fined. Just police wasting time again.

think they are mainly just mobile speed cams,but they can do you on your tax as well.

they read ure num plate they got sum kind of comp inside that processes the details (insurance, tax mot) real fast then if u dont have any they send one of the cars after u tho they ussually have sum kind of road block waiting a lil way down the road

[sh0rty]

I didnt think they were for speed or tax alone, speed is normally van with camera pic on side

tax is white with big green writing DVLA and the cam is on a stand outside

im ok i have all three :D dont know how good my tyres are though, but dont think they can take tyre depth from cam ;)

Yeah thats what some do, they read your number plate, search the police computer and then tell the police if the car is reported stolen written-off etc, insurance/tax. They are the latest camers.

But as Phil said, the DVLA send an ?80 out the day after your tax was due, and if its not paid then you get a ?1000 fine.

or you could have declared your car sorn and still drive it like some tax dodgers
