In today’s video - The police spill secrets on speed camera vans - probably the most contentious issue we could look at!
Speed is right up there in the Fatal Five and we see collisions daily caused by inappropriate and excessive speed.
This video shows you inside the camera van and also how it’s not just ‘braking distance’ it’s ‘thinking distance’ that effects how quickly you can stop. The difference in distance travelled in your ‘thinking time’ between 30mph and 40mph is 15 feet or nearly 5 meters. That’s potentially the difference between hitting or not hitting a child!
Police forces differ on thresholds for speeding offences. Most forces will allow 10% plus ‘x’ mph that then takes into account discrepancies in speedometer readings etc.
Thresholds can however be changed at any time so do not rely on this and it differs between forces. 1mph over the speed limit is technically an offence.
However it’s not all about limits. Not driving to the conditions and inappropriate speed are huge contributory factors in RTCs. The limit is a limit, not a target.
It’s not about revenue it’s about safety. If the camera identifies no offences that’s great as it’s done its job.
Stay safe
