Better than a speed check is an ANPR check - Automatic NumberPlate Recognition. A camera reads the vehicle's registration number, then checks it against various databases. If there's a hit, e.g. no insurance recorded, then the Police can stop the vehicle and find out more.

A friend of mine is a Police officer and used to work with the ANPR team. They were never short of customers, and picked up a surprising number of other offences too once they started talking to the driver.

CaptainColourful:
ANPR is an amazing tool and in my opinion it's far better than a speed trap, ( err safety camera ) in that once the plod have an excuse to stop a vehicle they usually find out something far more juicy than just being able to slap a speeding fine on a driver.
Blatant speedsters need slapping, but 33 in a 30 isn't usually life threatening, whereas a car stinking of dope or full of stolen goods is a far better result for society.
After all, a car with no tax, insurance or MOT is usually driven by someone who doesn't give a damn for anything and he/she should pay the price.

A good friend of mine is a copper that I think covers your area (not 100% sure :roll:). If things still need sorting I can find out if he and some of his friends are interested in paying a random visit ;)

Suvvey:
I agree. Problem is the lack of a licence doesn't stop them from driving :evil:
