Front Facing Speed Cameras....

[Aleks]

I was flashed by a front facing speed camera on my bike yesterday and i was wondering if I can still be fined?
The Story:
I was riding late at night home from work and I just got a new intercom thingy which i was messing with while riding, (trying to get music on), in a 30mph zone, so i was concentrating on the road and the intercom and not the speedo and got flashed from the front, looked down to my speedo and it said 36mph, but then I didnt see if the camera from the other side of the road managed to flash my arse because i was looking at my speedo.

Ive never been flashed before so Im not sure what will happen.

(I also dont have a number plate on the front of my bike).

Cheers.

You got a plate in front? If no, then you're fine.

Last I was riding in London. I wasn't scared of any traffic cameras facing my front because the bike I rented didn't have plates at the front.

Some cameras can flash from the other side of the road aka grab ya plate

Never know.... Someone the other side of the road might have been speeding.

What speedo have you got? Digital or clock? If it's a clock then it's normal 3-5mph over anyway.

Wouldn't worry about it.


Up to 42 mph you'll be offered a speeding course if you get busted anyway

Story goes a biker went through a front facing camera flicking the Vs as he went.

Because it couldn't be read by ANPR, the case went to a human operator who just happened to be a bike nut and recognised the bike as being quite rare, and something like 3 in the country. Then whittled down who is was by the colour or some other feature.

So moral of the story. Don't take the piss or push your luck with cameras

Or moral of the story is don't ride a unique bike, get some cheap mass produced shit meant for plebeians.

Or ride whatever you want and stick to the speedlimit
