DVLA cameras

I saw a transit form the DVLA driving down my road yesterday it has 4 cameras one on each corner of the roof obviously taking covert pictures of every car in the street, so beware even though there are no tax discs any more dont take the chance of leaving your untaxed cars on the road, beware !!

Can't you just shoot those things off as they go by?

Talking of shooting I'm amazed that more speed cameras haven't Been shot. A riffle round to the lense would make it unusable surely

I think filling them with petrol and setting fire to them seems more popular lol

agree.
most police cars come fitted as standard I believe.
round here, they sit on the main roundabouts
(they have cobbled access on them)
and just sit on there ass waiting for the anpr computor to say,
nick nick nick or whatever they programme in for the day..

The ANPR cameras do not just pick up untax vehicles but vehicles which are not insured or have no MOT.


No MOT may well mean the car is unsafe to be on the public highway.

You get hit by an at fault uninsured driver then who's pocket is going to be hit?

If your vehicle is taxed, MOT and insured then you have no worries about ANPR cameras.

Don't forget the permanently fixed cameras that automatically check your vehicle as you pass by! Regards. Chris

North wales is so backward on this, got rid of all ANPR from patrol cars (Only 3 or 4 traffic cars the whole of north wales) ANPR costs £80,000 a car, aparantly its not feesable.

I think its a good idea though, not so much the tax, a few days into the month if you have forgotten etc, but Insurance and MOT, there is no excuse.

Maybe an awareness of the penalties for firearms offences might have something to do with it :crazy:

Not true. They can't afford it.

you will be seeing more of them now...cos more people will chance the system, and more will feck up payments as now can direct debit..
easy money for the companies that work for dvla..(as dvla out source this)
and they dont cost 80k...been in the anpr vans...used them...(fixed them)

well they do round our way, as they have taken ALL the fixed ANPR cams off and left the wires dangling...

seems the cost of installation plus video monitoring at a fixed place was deemed more expensive than a computor fitted in car at build/after build that covers not just tax but the multitude of motoring offences was the chosen method round our part of essex.

we`ve not had fixed roadside ANPR for nearly a year now.

the other week, the A12 was being policed in the biggest use of police man power ever along many parts of the A12`s route.
they had an Impressive amount of pulls too -
wernt just cars, but anything on wheels on the road that day.

How did the select there vehicles ????
crystal balls ...praps..
