to photography the driver big brother taken to the extreme :Screem:what else
So does the one out the front catch you speeding too?
Not 100% sure but I think it's the ANPR numberplate recognition camera that's set up in the front window.
Could be a number of things. ANPR, routine monitoring (as fitted to traffic cars) but most likely its for those anti-social bar stewards like me wot ride motorbikes and therefore don't have a registration plate on the front so when we wang (or is it tonk, I lose track) past the van at warp factor 1000 and the camera in the back goes ping they can get a picture of the registration as the bike passes by and ask for the rider's collector card.
you must love s.p.e.c.s cameras as they only point one way.
Its not the s.p.e.c.s cameras that are the problem but all the cars going at 50, unless you're up for a bit of high speed filtering.Quote:

Annoyingly, the only time I appear to hit forward facing cameras is when I'm in the car. That said, I'm not a fan of most of the speed cameras I see as they're all in the wrong place. That said, no points on my licence so I must be doing something right.
The fitting commands are that the road has to be straight, but where do most collisions occur? That's right, bends.
Not many on left bends then:pQuote:
