To be fair ( and provide your first reply to your topic :roll: :lol:)
It's a bit sensational of the BBC to use 'target' bikers as they are juust trying to get a level playing field, not actually seeking to actively catch bikers over anyone else, unless it is bikers that are speeding :-dd

Re: Cameras target motorcyclists
 

I liked the "Bike doing 57 in a forty" bit when it was clearly travelling at much the same speed as the rest of the vehicles in shot.Maybe the speed limit was one of those endless 40s for no good reason other than to provide happy hunting grounds for the scameras?

Re: Cameras target motorcyclists
 

ummm... just before it gives the speed read out, it flashes error 03. anyone got any idea what it means?

and. i notice he didnt point at the merc behind him.

clearly discrimintation blah blah shaky fist etc

cant see why http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/w...re/7556695.stm

Re: Cameras target motorcyclists
 

Or maybe, just maybe, he was actually speeding irresponsibly?

..."last few weeks I've caught about half a dozen motorcycles..."

Is it me or does Clive look like those anoracs you see at the airport carparks plane spotting. I always wandered what they did for a day job.

Re: Cameras target motorcyclists
 

i noticed this one too. did like it when the copper said "no oncoming cars for the last 0.5 mile ish", JUST after a car had gone past!! lol, paying lots of attention!! read the story below and can only assume they got his plate if he out ran a load of cars and a helicopter!! good man :rolleyes:

oh and lara croft!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Re: Cameras target motorcyclists
 

What an appalling example to show, as others have said this is just blatant prejudice. The car behind is going at the same speed and the cross hairs are n't even on the bike half the time and at one point wonders onto the Merc behind and it certainly does n't look like 57 mph. How can they put this forward as a good example when the display flashes up Timeout and error 03?

Why does this video clip equate speeding with accidents? Vehicle speed it not usually a cause of accidents, the usual cause for bikes is SMIDSY, driver inattentiveness, poor observation, or rider losing control. Not speed. Speed will make an accident worse, of course it will, I don't deny that BUT it is not usually a cause.
