Im praying it is, i love my clean licence and my insurance is already astronomical! :(

There was one going the other way too, almost got caught on that too.

My journey to work consists of going from one end (Christchurch) to the other (westbourne) and every single day for the past 18 months i *may* have drifted over the speedlimit, and i have never seen a portable camera.

I could only see a highways maintenance (or possibly highways agency) van which was in a layby on the left. The two small tripods had a black box next to them.

Fingers crossed eh....

As from the 1st of this month it has been illegal for suppliers to sell 'show' plates, this being having a different thing at the bottom to the legal manufacture and postcode, to an italic.

So maybe something to do with a huge crack down on the illegal plates so it will all become more legal?

I'm all square so no worries bout a ANPR camera here :D

i can confirm people that it is infact a road surveying machine they check levels of road for any sign of sinkin etc from the wear and tear. there has to be a dorset saftey camera partnership van next to a mobile speed camera as they will not leave the half million pound contraption at some angry speeder's revenge attacks lol. i know blokes who carry out this work and they do it round the airport alot where there are guys around with other devices that comunicate with that device on the tripod. dont panic until it flashes! lol. ANPR's are eithermounted into a police cars or plain white vans that have police cars wating up the road for you to pass as they will be alerted before you pass them so they can nick ya! :wallbang: :drive: they are also blue boxes that are on blue poles with little ariels on that are unattended they are just for surveying purposes on how many uninsured drivers etc go down the road so they can set up mobile traps :assbeat: but yea hope its helped people! :D
