Coming soon..........

it's nothing exciting just turned round cameras to face the rear rather than the front (i believe they are called tru-velo cameras)

i was expecting some double headed super camera

I thought they put them up front-facing so they got a shot of the driver's face- avoids the "don't incriminate your spouse" defence or "I don't know who was driving".

To be honest, you can't really grumble, it's only fair that we all get the same shaft-- why should bikers be exempt? The problem's not the cameras, it's the way they're used and the limits they reinforce.

Anyone who starts with "to be honest" is telling lies. Its like when you start talking to the boss with"with all due respect sir" IE no respect whatsoever.

Why should bikers be exempt.......cause we're the safest on the road

Ahh well, Northampton used to be the bike friendly place for forward facing camera and very few Gatsos. Guess it had to end sometime.

Though I agree with Northy on the equality side.

Which ones are SPECS cameras anyway?

Ooh, fightin' talk Tony! If I weren't so hopelessly feeble you'd be in trouble.

Saying that bikes should be exempt because they're safer misses the point of speed cameras surely, since 9/10 haev nothing to do with safety.

specs are the yellow cctv style cameras that usually sit on motorway roadworks to monitor average speeds between fixed points.. bikes immune as they are front facing and work on ANPR

BBC Website -
Speeding motorists and bikers will now be flashed both as they approach a roadside camera and after passing it.

Hmmm, True velo (Forward facing) do not work on the Doplar effect as do Gatsos. They work on in indution loop in the road. Turning them around will not help, as also the cameras have to, according to regs, have calibration marks.

So for this to work, they will have to change the cameras to Gatso, and paint calibration marks. In the age old saying, if you dont wanna do the time, then dont do the crime. We seem to have an infestation of the new Canary box type cameras around where i live. They are hard to see at 1st!!

Speed cameras are just plain wrong. Not in the fact that most of them are revenue generators, but that that they would catch someone drink/drug driving, dangerous driving etc.

Still they are her to stay, so its best we live with them really.
