how far away from you can they detect your speed when there sitting in a van hidden in the bushes???

[Jimbob]

as far as their line of sight i believe!

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

IIRC, if they're using the LTI 20-20, they can get you from 1000m.

 Whether they can form a prior opinion of your speed before lasering you at that distance is another matter... 

 The party line is that the requirement to be visible is only aguideline... fingers crossed for you mate?

 With a bit of luck, they'll have spilt their coffee in their lap, or been too engrossed in the paper...

 14 days dreading the postman then...

No.. The old-fashioned headlamp flash from people going the other way will limit it to those who are not looking where they are going AND speeding.  Should knock it down to about 75%.

Is/Was there a roadside piccy of a camera in place, by law they have to advertise, they might be there. Tho' i believe it doesnt have to be a fixed sign, a temp one that they take away with them suffices.

If it was there, sounds like it would have been just a passing blur

I recently got caught by the man in the speed camera van from over 600 metres away, it comes up on the photographic evidence - they now take moving footage of you driving instead of the just taking a pic.

6 points and a £330 fine

That can get you into trouble too! 'perverting the course of justice' i think, not sure though.
I know people who have been cautioned about it!

At least they have the decency to hide in horse boxes round here!!!!

no rd sign warning you of the camera, just 2 doors sticking out of the bushes. with a camera poking out the back.

Hi Rich,
          Where was this then? Wish you luck mate .
   
  I believe these unannounced camera sights are bl**dy dangerous as they divert your eyes from what your supposed to be doing, [size=14]Looking where your driving!!! [/size].
