Saw a large mobile van type today that I have not seen before, on the A6, Furness Vale, about 1/2 a mile North of the roundabout linking with the A5004 to Whaley Bridge. I am sure others will have seen this van type often of course.
My question is: Do any of the mobile vans also use cameras pointed out of the front windows, as well as their usual rear facing camera? Thus monitoring the road in both directions.


Cheers

I've seen a large white van with cameras front and rear near Woking. The layby they use is logged as a mobile site here.

From what I understand they are ANPR cameras looking out for the untaxed, uninsured, no MOT jobs.

Usually there are numerous Plod motorcyclists both sides of the van, usually a hundred yards away waiting to pounce.
