Gatso's are usually a fixed camera radar device, these vans use a laser. They can register the speed of almost anything moving, cars, bikes, cyclists and pedestrians.
Don’t forget to watch out for police bikes pointing toward you parked on the side of the road. The officer looking into the top box at the cctv bikes speed camera display on a laptop. Don’t know if they still have it but Warwickshire Police had a Honda NT700 setup that I have seen used in 30mph limits.
Seriously? I'd be more concerned about those over 8000 hidden ANPR cams scanning and recording your whereabouts. Police know where you have been for two years. That's more intrusive than speed cams where it's in your hands whether they do something or not.
Do these vans have cameras out the front too? I was headed towards one doing 50 in a 40 but slowed down on approach as I passed the van the camera was hanging out the back of the van but I’m still a little worried
@@andrewdoran4572 speed limits are for everyone, and heres a thing. If you break the limit overtaking, technically you can get done for speeding. Im sick of the drivers and bikers who arrogantly and blatantly ignore speed limits. Any that get caught, its their own fault.
Camera vans were originally put in accident hot spots, now they are strategically placed to gain as much revenue as possible, road safety has absolutely nothing to do with this..
Speed camera vans cannot give bikes a ticket. Theres no number plate at the front. I was in the same situation once and after realised they wouldnt have my reg unless the guy rubs to the front of the car and takes pics
They can issue tickets as they look through the screen and write your reg down and then issue a ticket that way ..... ask me how I know 😡..... although I am arguing it as there is no photographic evidence ...

There wasn't a front number plate on *mine* either, but I got 3 points & a £100 fine last year. My fault, blaming no-one else...🙄 - 75 in a 60 on our bypass. BTW, it's *not* "all about money". 2 weeks ago, 5 bikers died in 2 separate collisions on Derbyshire roads & this weekend, 2 more have died on North Yorkshire roads. Obviously I don't know if speed was a factor but the police say that the hardest thing to do is knock on a door & inform families that their family member isn't coming home. I've been on (& occasionally *off!* ) bikes for over 50 years. At 69, I still enjoy it.
@@stephenphillip5656I don't buy the "knocking on doors"-argument. It's definitely about money. The places they're at. Huge potholes, but the latest speed cameras. Speed limits decided by a bunch of politicians. Etc. In my country they even announce they expect x amount of fines for the year.
Xeria_ lol they a pain in Yorkshire like. Never see them in the 30 or 40 zones they always hiding round a corner in a 60 in the middle off no where lol
1700iDiGuy most camera vans have cameras facing both ways t catch plates on vehicles like bikes now. It’s also legal for the operator to log the plate if he manages to in the uk
Camera Vans in my area have Cameras all round, If there is no front plate you will have been recorded from the rear as you pass by, all recordings are time/date stamped and synced to the Video speed camera. They also record other offences such as no seatbelt & using a handheld phone.
Only the deliberately terminally dumb cannot (will not?) see it is all about the money, especially feeding as many as possible into the legalised bribery of a "Speed Awareness Course". Councils make eye-watering amounts from those courses, often run by a attention seeking volunteer for free and the vans have little affect on the dangerous nutters who use unregistered vehicles. And yes, with so much revenue to be gathered they WILL have thought about motorbikes single plate...
Not at all sure it is about making money. The local village wanted speed checks. The Police said. We don’t have the resources to do speed checks. I have a feeling that if it’s about making money they would have been there like a shot. Also if it is a money spinner there would be more safety vans about.
It’s easy to beat the system- don’t break the posted speed limit 😂- or remove the number plate, keep it with you as it’s just fallen off so will fix it when back home and the fine for not displaying a plate is less than that of 4 mph over a speed limit.
All cameras and vans should be camouflaged or hidden, the speed limits are there for a reason. Where I live it’s on a private estate with a 3pm-h limit, it should be 20 there are still morons that do well over 50 or more even though there are children here.
It’s really easy. Ride below the speed limit. You might get to live a full life and enjoy it too.
alright mum

Got to watch out for them speeding pedestrians
Got to wonder what effect the salad dodger inside shifting his weight around has on accuracy

So do Cheshire Police
doesn't look like the flap was open so don't think it would've been in operation
Agreed, they are unable to shoot laser through glass/perspect
@jordansmith3344 perspex* and that's not how lasers work fella. 😂
It's all about money 💰💰💰💰😂😂😂😂
Not really
Nope it's to get you to slow down.
@@Workerbee-zy5nx still money
Well, it's demonstrably not about safety!
Not if you stick to the speed limit. Don’t people understand that ? Wow.
How far were you when you spotted it?
Second I checked round the corner
Seriously?
I'd be more concerned about those over 8000 hidden ANPR cams scanning and recording your whereabouts. Police know where you have been for two years.
That's more intrusive than speed cams where it's in your hands whether they do something or not.
Motorcyclists make up less than 1% of UK roads users but more than 20% of annual road fatalities!
Drive carefully and with consideration. Unfortunately they do catch the odd slip in concentration
It's not just about money. It's about social CONTROL.
@@WandleValleyRailway not wrong there....
they probably got that biker for not wearing a seat belt ...
😆🤣😂

Any update ?
They can get you in both directions now my missus just got caught by a camera on the other side of the road
There is a camera at the front that records a vehicle’s rear number plate. Needed for motorcycles.
Whe light blue speed camera vans....logoed up as a commercial vehicle....beware.
You don’t have front number plates?
@Mfull-l4r capture the back plate? On a motorcycle?
@Mfull-l4r oh
No camera signs?
Is 60mph not fast enough for you?
You obviously don't ride a motorcycle, otherwise you would know the answer to your own question.
@@andrewdoran4572There lies the problem.

@@swiss26x I'll keep that in mind. Not that I speed often
WRONG! I got a ticket when I passed a camera van on my Suzuki 500 last year. Van was on an overpass but they got my number.

Some of them have a camera (bubble type) mounted on the side which faces forwards to get an image of the rear of the bike as it passes by.
Why you worried there's no numberplate on the front of yer bike DOH

😆😅🤣😂😂🤣😅love all the comments!!! Simple answer, dont speed.
Did you get a ticket?
Xeria_ no never heard a thing thank god
Mr Mon-Eye drove past a speeding fan today (was facing me) and idk if he flashed me or not
Xeria_ lol they a pain in Yorkshire like. Never see them in the 30 or 40 zones they always hiding round a corner in a 60 in the middle off no where lol
Mr Mon-Eye bunch of snakes they are
Agreed, absolute 'get in front at any cost' lunatics.
You need Waze in your life, mate.
Cash generator - nothing else
Simple answer!
@@johnbennett7297 The speed limits are outdated.the speed limits need increasing
Like everything else the do in Illinois against citizens.
@@andrewthomas2406 😆😅🤣😂 harsher penalties required, longer bans more penalty points.
@@johnbennett7297yes
hahaha
Reg plate is on back cant get u
Oh yes they can. If they catch you speeding from the front when you pass a camera on the dash then takes a picture of your plate as you pass.
No front plate don’t worry

They need that money and dickheads breaking speed limits are a very valid target.
I like how they locate where theres no danger to the public.. another part of the reason police aren't respected
Getting traffic on the opposite side, but that still doesn’t alter the fact the bike was riding like a dickhead

Well said. I agree entirely.
