Re: speed camera catches two bikes
cameras usually take 2 pictures, so they can work out your speeds independently from that. if you were both speeding i expect they can just do you both, guilty until proven innocent and all that
www.pepipoo.com seems to be the place to get advice

The scamership will have looked and the photos and the distance travelled using the lines on the road as markers and used that to calculate the speed of both bikes and then sent the NIP to the speeding bike that triggered the camera I think. Just pay up and take it on the chin.

Re: speed camera catches two bikes
I would be careful, pepipoo is damn good but if you start protesting it they may start trying to say you were racing the other bike or something stupid.
Good luck though and try pepipoo |

Re: speed camera catches two bikes
If it was a fixed camera that takes 2 pictures at a set time apart then I doubt it as your speed is distance/time. More Crap News did an article a while ao about the accuracy of the hand held guns when aimed at a bike who is in close proximity to a vehicle moving at a different speed bit, as usual with MCN, the result was inconclusive.

Re: speed camera catches two bikes
It was on my suggestion that Smudge may have an "out" on this offence as we were in the pic too. I thought that there was some confusion as to who tripped the camera. We were doing the legal limit and had pulled over as we saw the camera. Unfortunately Smudge mistook this as me letting him past and accelerated past at just the wrong second. We were not riding fast or dangerously as it was a 40 limit.

If its your 1st three points it probably wont make that much difference.
