The police van parking is atrocious, making it dangerous for traffic waiting at the junction to see traffic coming from the right?

The aperture setting is too wide by a stop or two and the exposure too long by a fraction. It's also slightly out of focus and badly framed.

Do I win a prize?

The resolution is pretty low and the colour balance is a bit off.

I suggest you pop over to the http://www.policespe...otography-club/ to get some tips.

The van with police marking on the bonnet has (I think) an orange beacon on the roof?

The tyre tread on the rear offside is below the legal limit.

Several Surrey units have that

Is the tax disc out of date?

Loving the photography tips, I suppose I did ask for it!

But the correct answer is:

The police van parking is atrocious, making it dangerous for traffic waiting at the junction to see traffic coming from the right?


Unbelievable parking for a "safety" van.

The photo was taken by a friend of mine as he stopped at the junction and noticed his view completely blocked!

It looks like a builder's van that someone just hastily slapped "POLICE" onto the bonnet of.

Also, great idea to block your ANPR camera view with a lamp post!

I hope he got out and told them that they should move as their parking was no good for road safety :new_shades:

I don't think he did, but his words when he posted this photo on Facebook were:

Great... The police set up a police camera van right on the corner of a junction..... Well at least the NUMPTY in the van doing the filming can assist if there is a RTA at the junction.... Twats

Poor punctuation in the advertising sign. Doesn't form a proper sentence. Only one comma used to seperate the nouns and no full stop.

The grass verge needs new seed, the line markings on the junction arent of specified length and a cats eye seems to be missing. Other than that I can see nothing wrong... :new_hmmm:
