I was intrigued to notice a mobile speed camera van parked on the Northbound A24, just South of the A272 traffic lights this evening, positioned right besides a fixed 60mph speed camera.
It was clearly there to catch people who exceed the speed limit as they approach the fixed camera then slow/brake as required (before, probably, accelerating away again).
I don't believe I've seen this before and, whilst I understand the law, it strikes me as quite a sneaky thing to do.
I was also surprised to see them doing this on a Sunday evening - surely a time of the week when motorists should be free to cane it as much as they want.
