    Default Average Speed Cameras, can they get bikes?

    As I say, can the average speed cameras that are seen at motorway roadworks, catch bikes as I have only seen them pointing towards the vehicles coming towards them?

    If the camera is pointing towards you then no, it can't catch you (obviously).

    They may have finally wisened up to that though, because the cameras that are now on the roadworks at the end of the M3 (Sunbury) are pointing both ways.

    The one at jedburgh forest scotland is a money point milkin rip off too !

    safety cameras my the lothian haggis shaggin david blunts

    it has tree branches overgrowing & its positioned at the start of the perfect handfull straight & not before the terrible twisties ahead to warn you like it should be !!!

    i recon it was requested by the hotel owners to be their coz big bikes cause the afternoon cream teas & strawberrys to curdle & fur up as old folk sit in the terrier tickling lawns

    if in doubt say your bike is a pool bike & is ridden by up to 7 ppl "can i be sent photographic evidence please"
    then just waste time playing the we can`t be sure who it is routine

    £60 3 points & car ins went up £30 for sp30

    so wrong

    it just kinda makes you want to break the law in other ways to get even !!!!!!

    It's a little bit harder than just that, that is of course assuming you can find 6 people who are willing to perjure themselves to start with.

    Something along the same vein.

    I'm a Transport Planner and I'm involved in collating traffic flows etc. A salesman was trying to sell me software last week and was explaining the advantages of their software over others. One of the features it had was the ability to work out how much revenue the software could work out in revenue lost to vehicles speeding! He said it was the police that asked for this feature!

    Just goes to show the lame excuse of speed camera's only being used for road safety is a crock of shit!
    I understand and accept that some people hold opinions that are different to my own. Living in a free and democratic society, I fully embrace and respect their right to be wrong.
