I think you'll find the blue cameras are traffic-master cameras which measure traffic flow on trunk roads. Quote taken from digitalspy.co.ukNothing new, they have been going for years. Have you seen those very tall blue poles at the roadside, with cameras fitted?? They clock every number plate passing, and the computer checks which is taxed, and which isnt. The last registered keeper then gets a bill for backtax times whatever mood they are in at DVLC. So if you say ran the untaxed car up to the shop, and the car was clocked, and you hadn't used it for the last ten years........BINGO!!

I base my post on a conversation I had with a chap working on one of the blue post models. He had a lap-top plugged into the control panel, and showed me the screen. Yes, they are used for traffic flow as well, but the live camera picture(s) he showed me were angled to show up passing vehicles number plates. ????? I live in hope that someone can explain what these things really do, traffic flow, or another agenda as well??I think you'll find the blue cameras are traffic-master cameras which measure traffic flow on trunk roads.

''The double headed cameras (blue ones) are Trafficmaster cameras ( http://www.abd.org.uk/blue-cam.htm ) These are used not to monitor your individual speed, but to monitor the flow of traffic and provide updates to Satnav systems.''
In North Wales Police Area, small white cameras (look like speakers) have appeared on lampposts all around here, I believe these are ANPR cameras.
Let's hope so - Man City were in the Second Division then!!1984... a tad late but here anyway.

The trafficmaster system does indeed read number plates but it only sends part of the number back to their headquarters, not the whole number. Although it records only part of the number this is enough to recognise vehicles. The system works by timing how long a vehicle takes after being recorded by one camera and then seen by the next. This way it knows if traffic is being delayed.View attachment 38760

This chap did tell me that the RAC rented 'space' on the programme for their traffic prediction service.
This picture represents what I witnessed on the laptop.

No, the blue cameras on the top of long poles are the things which gather information on traffic congestion by timing how long it takes traffic between pairs of cameras. They are not linked to any enforcement system and although they read the full number they don't transmit or record the full number, just enough so the system , by recording lots of vehicles, can work out the average speed of traffic.My sat nav warns us of a DS2 , is that a DS2?
Are you sure?? After all just about evrybody else can. Risk it if you like but I won't.Also overseas police do not have access to the DVLA database to check

The answer to your question is simple - because that is the law. European law is clear that for any vehicle registered in one European home country to be used in another European country it must be legally able to be used in that home country. Hence the need for tax and MOT. Otherwise the roads of Europe would be full of vehicles registered in "other" countries and subject to no taxation or checks as to roadworthiness.This might be a stupid question but why would the french police want to know if your vehicle had tax to drive on British roads ....if your there for 6 months and not in UK I don't see why they would be fussed unless they get a portion of UK tax money which I doubt
