I do this to boy racers. They always give me a wave and slow down. Then I drive on laughing thinking of them doing 50kmph for the next half hour looking out for a speed van that isn’t there.
Not all heroes wear capes
Sure it doesn’t work anymore cause it looks like every cunt with LEDs is flashing you every time they hit a minor bump
I don’t know why people bother. The majority of people passing will know that the spot the speed van set ups and will slow down for that patch of road.
What’s really bizarre is it’s often the people who complain about other drivers speeding that will be the ones flashing about a speed van up ahead.

Nearly 72pc are touts then
Ms Frazer said the findings also highlight some “concerning behaviours – such as flashing oncoming drivers or alerting others to the presence of speed vans – which can undermine the purpose of these safety measures”
What a nonsense!
If I earn other users about presence of speed an, I make them slow down, thus possibly saving lives and contributing road safety. Whether the van is there or not.
72% are bastards
If I was asked this question I would lie and say no
There are map apps that tell you about speed vans and cameras anyways
I don’t even think about it. If I get a speeding ticket, I’m the fool. If they get one, not my problem.
Upon my first visit to Ireland, I saw that sign and thought it meant „scenic viewpoint“ … I eventually figured it out, but it took a few days.
👊✋
Shame on them. Speed vans a literally there to keep us safe
Jesus. I guess most people are assholes. It doesn’t take much to flash lights. I got 2 points for doing 63 in 60 zone ages ago. Over the years, I’ve gotten flashed and avoided a few traps as a result. I always warn people. The pigs aren’t making the roads safe with cameras. It’s just a revenue stream for unlucky commuters going to work. Its not like they are dragging boy racers to court when they are snapped doing 100kph in a 50 zone, they just get the same fine and points as the rest.
Why did the survey show a stock image
The point of speed vans is to get people to slow down. The flashing of lights gets people to slow down.
If you want to *catch* people, put another speed van further up the road.
Imagine what the comment section would be like if it did… ( #moneygrab )
What happened to %? This is the second new headline I’ve seen recently that said „pc“ to mean percent.

It comes down to do you want to catch people speeding or get them to slow down coming up to an accident black spot where these vans operate. If it’s to change driver behaviour to pay attention to speed signs via punishment then the RSA need to admit that and put the vans all over the place with no warning signs.
The point is for people to slowdown. They slow down. Whats the problem
A revenue collection scheme is all they are.
Lovely stock image to be fair
Just use Waze, much better for everyone
If people didn’t speed this wouldn’t be an issue. Same idiots who go from 100 to 60 in half a second when they spot one. You’re allowed do 100, quit jamming on the brakes.
