speeding

[sandra22465]

hi if i was doing 44mph on a 40 mph road and the camera van was on the other side of the road facing me would it have got me for speeding or does the van get you from the back of the van and has to be on the same side as you thanks

If you were doing an indicated 44 you are probably OK as your speedo almost certainly over reads.

The van gets you from the back, as I know to my cost as I was "got" last week :-(

and no, the van was not on the same side as me. It was across the road in a lay-by.

It doesn't matter what side of the road the van was on.....it can catch speeders on both sides of the road.....but at only 4 mph over you are unlikely to hear anything more about it.

If you are sure you were only travelling at 44 on a 40mph road you should be ok. Most speedometers read slightly fast. The ACPO ( Association of Chief Police Officers) policy is to allow ten percent over anyway.
