I was on the way home from work today on an A road where there was a 40mph limit by a farm, and was behind someone doing about 35mph in a car, needless to say I was bored so pulled out and overtook and without thinking really I found myself going about 50 when I saw one of those mobile speed vans in front of me, facing my way with the camera, I quickly slowed down but it must have seen me doin 50.

What I want to know is obviously I dont have a numberplate on the front of my bike, but is there any way these vans can get you with, say, another camera as you pass them on the other side....?

I think not, but I'm not certain. I had that this morning. 70ish along the A4, oop, hello, BRAAAAAKE.
I'm really hoping not...

not unless they follow you as you pass to get your number, or post on a forum the details of the speeding incident

I got done on the bike the bloke in the van will turn around and note your Reg plate. Was done a 71 ish in a 40 zone. Was sunday morning at 5am, cunts.

cover your plate with your foot next time lol

definatly considering one of these at some point.

not 100% sure but i heard alot of these speedvans actually have a forward facing camera so they can catch bikers aswell e.g. they catch you speeding then using the foward facing cam to get your plate details

so life would be better if number plate could slide up inside the bike like balls on a cold day wouldn't it

i had a hinged plate held down by some bungee that flipped up at somewhere around 60-80mph.. horribly illegal, but i never got any points while it was fitted.

well, its only illegal if you get caught, eh?

indeedy, i want a big red "PANIC" button on the tank for when you spot the gatso while your "moving with the flow of the traffic"

That's an excellent idea!

I mean, it's definitely secure, and if it only err... unvisible at illegal speeds - who's going to test it, and does it need to be anyway?

What about an inflatable pregnant woman on the back? "I was on my way to the hospital, honest"
