If you think you might be exceeding the speed limit* while passing a camera, could you manage to present your posterior? Papers would LOVE a photo. * yes I know there's not one for cycles, but the camera may be stupid enough not to know what is a cycle and what is a motorcar... |

There are some here who think that passenger's behaviour to be so deplorable as to warrant severe penalty. |

I thought they only took (or saved) photos of cars which it detected as going too fast? I set off one of those flashing signs on my bike the other day - doing about 32 mph on the approach to a 30 mph zone. If cameras use the same sort of sensor then I guess it would take a photo of you if you went fast enough although the potential chafing from pedalling that fast would put me off trying! peter |

You don't even have to be doing 30. I have been flashed twice when doing less than the 30 limit (one explanation proffered was something to do with the doppler effect, whereas others swear that there must have been someone going over the limit the other way). |

It says "mobile camera" in the article. |

It's very unlikely that I'll be on the London ride this year, because I wouldn't travel all the way to London /just/ for the ride. There's been discussion about doing a ride along the Bristol-Bath path, possibly this year but more likely not until next year. -- Danny Colyer http://www.redpedals.co.uk Reply address is valid, but that on my website is checked more often "The plural of anecdote is not data" - Frank Kotsonis |
