they aint gonna catch anyone for this except trolley dolleys, they aint gonna be able to keep up with the irish and aberdeen guys, and by the time they get to a truck cab the driver will have closed his laptop, then again its probably limited to 58 mph lol.
be funny if it was limited to 52 lol
Let’s hope they get some more of these trucks, if it cuts down on mobile phone use, open laptops and videos, hell it might even make drivers look in their mirrors more.
That is without mentioning those pig ugly drivers who have to keep the side curtains almost closed 
aha,the (in)famous mr nairn,might have guessed,remember him from way back when,poacher,gamekeeper etc

hiya,
It’s not nice to talk about me like that Wheel Nut, definitely would have frosted glass in the drivers door if still on the road, but me Mam said i was lovely.
thanks harry long retired.
ROG:
Police use HGV to catch driversIs this just aimed at LGV drivers or all drivers?
We all know that car drivers rarely look up and the amount of unsafe stuff we see them doing from the height advantage of the truck is a real eye opener !!
I applaud this tactic IF it is being used to catch unsafe practices by ALL drivers.
come on then rog what have you seen?

No more than most that have been out there for some time 
Are there any photos of this police wagon?

I’ve requested such from Staffs police - waiting now…
I consider any stealth filming of myself as an invasion of my privacy. Its bad enough going about my lawful business knowing I’m being filmed but its starting to get beyond a joke !! (So much for living in ‘A Free Country’, more like The Peoples Republic Of China where you are monitored by the State 24/7).
I started driving as it offered a bit of freedom, so much for that !
The Highway Man:

yeah they’ve borrowed it from their cousins…
the idea being these truckers they trying to catch they’ll be to engrossed in the lap top or busy tossing their spaghetti this totally Inconspicuous truck can creep up on them.
*picture taken from gogzy’s topic 
as the side of the 7.5 gets level with the cab, they pull the side curtain open and they hand the driver a “gotcha oscar” like on noel edmunds house part with a tv crew poking the camera and sound stick in the cab…
and it even has a gunge tank with beverly bell holding the lever…
“off wiv is ed - oh wrong show dam it”

Was that Denzyl driving the Massey Wilcox truck?
I know one thing though, if anyone gets nicked for using a phone by them, they deserve to lose their job, it is hardly a plain wrapper or discreet
I must admit , if I was a wagon driver up to no good and this pulled along side me, I’d have kittens!! 
truck clearly doesnt have a limiter on it after watching that video
lets all be honest the amount of times we check r mirrors we r bound to see it in the distance so just keep alert whack on the cb tell every1 around u an then no 1 wil be caught i have no time 4 police due to scenes in the past but they wouldnt be able to pass me in my last truck 
i’m not sayin its right to be doing anything distracting or illegal at the wheel but every 1 has done it !

I’ll bet they have a limiter exemption as well
I expected that
