Safety over the camera vans.

[Stokesey]

Just passed a safety camera van, I was a bit of over the limit, it was parked on the verge but had the rear windows still closed (usually I have seen these open with the camera visible). Can these still detect speed with the windows closed or are they setting up in readiness??

Thanks..

theyre not type approved for use with the windows closed but they have been known to hand out offences this way, most probably not been used at the time (setting up or packing up), its more common for them to have them closed in winter so the scammers don't get cold

id say keep your fingers crossed just incase, they have 14days to let you knwo dont they?

I'm fingers crossed I reckon I was about 40 in a 30, no excuses I know!! I have always seen them with the windows open before so am hoping I may be lucky on this occasion!!

like i said if the windows were definitely closed then even if he snapped you, chances are you will be able to get off on that alone. If you recieve a NIP within 14 days go on

Just have to wait and see.

Sounds more like an ANPR camera rather than a speed detection van if the windows were closed.
