the ANPR vans can get info on tax, insurance, mot etc by capturing the numberplate which is linked to the DVLA.

Hmmm, might be what I am thinking of, but the one nearby is used specifically for out of date tax discs. It's a fixed camera :) It may do other things, but I've only seen and heard people moan about their tax discs :P

afaik there's no camera specifically designed for reading tax discs, it would just read the reg plate and check it on the database, no tax = unpleasant letter through the postbox.

'You will get a load of people staring at their speedometers instead of concentrating on what’s going on around them.’ Captain Gatso, of Motorists Against Detection, added: ‘This will not reduce deaths on the roads. It’s all about money.’

Wow. This guy is good. +rep to Gatso. :)

Stabbings, bombings, pollution and world hunger. The government are still worried about speeding traffic.

Crazy.

I corrected myself with that post, saying that's probably what I mean. But it's purpose is to find out of date tax discs through the number plate, and nothing else e.g. speed check, insurance, MOT etc.

Isn't there a county in the UK somewhere that doesn't have ANY speed cameras? Or is it a major town? One of the two though, the MP for the area removed all of them saying it's all about money and not about saving lives.
