It doesn't fuss me as I tend not to speed through any type of camera. But what does really annoy me is that the government seem hell bent on punishing the minority of roads users, i.e. motorcyclists. Target the cars/lorries as they make up the numbers, cause congestion and have more accidents. Idiots.

That kind of misses the point though... They already target the trucks and cars this way, all this is doing is extending the net. You can hardly cry discrimination.

true velo cameras don't need marks for the secondary check as they use piezo loops which are a fixed distance apart.. they know the distance and the time before the flash so they can calculate the speed...

i believe they can use them in rear facing situations with some modification (ie the sensors need to be backwards)

lets face it the police are now doing everything possible to fine the motorist/motorcyclest now! its got to be easyer than running after criminals. speed cameras make the cops £££££ and thats what its all about now, you never see a beat bobby on the streets by us now.
