I find it quite sad that, espescially in a document to the Government that wishes to be taken seriously and signed by informed and sensible people, so many of them think so little of themselves that they do not consider their names to be Proper Nouns - therefore deserving of a capital letter.

Why don't you just ride at an appropriate speed within the speed limit, then speed traps become irrelevant.

Some people do ride at an appropriate speed within the speed limits, and they have still been done due to the innaccuracies of the devices - hence the petition

Oh come on! Only innacurate when taking pictures of motorbikes?? I don't buy any of this b*ll*cks (it's same b*ll*cks they rant on about in MCN).

Bottom line -

We all ride bikes that go fast and enjoy doing so. Either don't get caught or take it on the chin when you do.

Can anyone hear some sheep baa-ing?

The government is (in theory) an elected body to do our bidding, and if the majority of voters don't want speed cameras then they ought to go. As for riding at an appropriate speed, how dare you be so damned patronizing. Appropriate to what? to the speeds set by some spotty herbert who's a Guardian reading cyclist? Thank you, but no — what I deem appropriate is based on years of motoring experience.
