Weight in motion

[Ian C]

Any one come across this yet? It’s still fairly new but will be getting fitted to all major roads over the next few years, this will have a big impact on guys running 3.5t trucks or vans as you won’t ever know you have been nicked until it’s too late, I hit some info at a new operator seminar I had to go on as part of the o licence being granted, there will be no where to hide soon !

Is this the thing that detects what vehicle you're driving in and the appropriate speed limit?

 

I'm in the market for a new 4x4 and after 10 years of Navara's i'm shopping around for a change.....this is restricting the amount of available vehicles though.  When I was in the Nissan dealer the other day the guy I was speaking to wasn't even aware that some pick ups can only go 70

Shouldn't everything only go 70 [emoji6]
Yeh the flyovers on scotch corner are now basically weigh bridges so the anr camaras get your vehicle make and model so know what your limit is and if your over then bam your got without even knowing it.

I thought it was just a guideline ?

Can they tell how much you’ve had to drink?

Specso. Soon they'll be able to tell if you've got bald tyres and defective brakes too. Just won't be worth driving anymore. Tis ealth an safety gone mad.

etc.

Surely pertaining to the weight limits as well, i.e. one will get NIP'ed(or possibly pulled in to a proper weighbridge furthur down the road, being "intelligence" led policing an all)

P.S.

Do the camera vans be "triggered" at the lower limits for vans and LGV's, I presume they must?

[Steve Bullman]

It’s obviously because of the EU

[Mark Bolam]

Nah, you won’t actually get pulled.

DVSA will just get a crime reference number and told ‘the matter is being investigated’.
