Do speed vans take pictures of the driver?

I appreciate you taking the time to reply but your answer is not in any way helpful

Also does anyone know if there is a 10 percent upper leeway like there is in England?

I was doing 69 in a 60 zone when I was done by that Garda. I suppose my question was about the vans do they allow for leeway? I have noticed that the speedometer usually reads about 5 km above what a speed sign will read. Is that a common deviation in most cars?

I was happy with your helpful advice before but now I sense a nasty tone. I am not trying to weasel out of it that was months ago I am just asking to compare the procedures with manual detections like a speed gun and automated detections like the vans. Does a person manually go through them and decide which ones to pursue? Taking into account time of day, following traffic behind a speeding car etc.

Didn't come on here for a lesson in morality want to find out procedures and protocol only of which is available to the public and I am entitled to know

That's what I thought I don't think they care who takes the wrap as long as someone is getting 3 penalty points and an 80 quid fine

If you have nothing nice or helpful to say then just leave this thread alone

Very funny but no it wasn't me I keep that to the bedroom and if I ever did in a car it would be parked

Entitled to what?

Oh good one that must have taken a while to come up with

In fact, if you read my original post you'll see I wasn't done by a speed van I was done by a Garda with a speed gun and I am just comparing the two methods of getting caught, as in, is it possible to pass the blame onto someone else with the van as opposed to being done by the gun wherein it is impossible.

Yes it did happen two months ago actually and I have accepted the fine and points. There was obviously no way for me to say someone else was driving as I was done by a Garda. I recently heard of someone caught by a van and letting someone else take the wrap for them and they got away with it. My issue is that is unfair on people who are caught by guns because people who are caught by vans are able to let someone else take the blame with no consequences. And please don't patronise me with your 'wriggle out' and 'man up' no need for that your comment was helpful up until that.

If it is challenged and the culprit simply says 'oh I thought the named driver was driving the car that day on that road but it must have been me, sorry about that I'll take the fine and points now' is that considered a false claim or a genuine mistake?

I am aware of that but still doesn't stop people doing it and getting away with it unfortunately

Thats mad you'd wonder how much they actually have to be doing if they have the time to nitpick with petty crimes like that
