Police are able to utilise a variety of handheld laser and radar equipment to calculate the speed of oncoming vehicles. Once the speed is pre-determined, they are able to apprehend any law breaking motorists almost straight away with on the spot ticketing. Mobile vans are exactly the same - Some are manned vehicles and some are "automated" with speed tracking equipment that can be left at the side of the road. Quite sneaky!
