If you're heading up the A90 Dundee -> Aberdeen then there are plenty of those scameras around... as well as the odd hidden traffic car using VASCAR stuff, which I know for a fact, a Road Angel doesnt pick up!! [;)]

they are very sneaky on that road, we normally go to costco up in aberdeen, what they do it place the camera van somewhere...then in the next layby have the cop car, hoping you have speeded up after the van, either that or you get done twice in a matter of yards

 

also seen them on the flyovers too so they get both sides of traffic

It's always best to stick to the speed limits between Dundee and Aberdeen, as there are plenty of speed cameras, and as mentioned, there are regularly extra vans and cars in between the cameras.

There's also a few in Aberdeen itself. If you area heading over Anderson Drive, and going out the main road towards Inverurie, then there are 3 cameras you need to wory about. There are two about 1/2 mile along the A96 Inverurie road after the busy Haudagan (sp?) roundabout. One about 100 yards beyond a set of lights in the 40mph zone, and another not much further along in the 30mph zone (this second one is often well hidden by parked vans etc at the shops), and just beyond that there's a main police station.

A few miles beyond the airport roundabout on the A96, there's another camera in the middle of the road (they turn it around to look at different directions from time to time), but this is in a 70 zone, and at a bad junction which no-one ever speeds past anyway. After that, then there's nothing, but the police do at times sit at the side of the A96 in places where it's easy/tempting to creep above the speed limit.

There are plenty of interesting roads in the area that are fun to drive on.

Also between Perth and Dundee there are some roadworks and a 40limit "protected" by AVERAGE speed cams, stick to the limit..

I am Near Inverurie so I will keep an ear out.

Thanks for aw the warnings guys[Y] I'm gonna head over the Cairn road from Edzell to Banchory area thus avoiding most of the A90. My old man prefers going the backroads in the Scoob. I just canny get him to let a tarmac rallying opportunity go[:D][:P][;)

I'll make sure I look out for the Camera's[:)] when I'm in Aberdeen on Sunday and Tuesday.

Cheers
