Used to happen a lot up in the north east coast of Scotland when the fishermen came ashore

The problem with the vans at the side of the road are they are strategically parked just around a bend and as soon as you go round the bend the laser is pointing at you, therefore no time to brake and you are caught...

Exactly how it happened. It was a country lane with a few houses on it exactly the same as other stretches of the same road where it was national speed limit - except i missed the small repeater signs.

I thought the usual way used to kill these cameras was to 'necklace' them.
That is, hang a tyre over and round the camera, fill it with petrol and torch it.
