If an innocent biker, just out to get some lunch, were to encounter a marked up camera van while said biker was, say, nudging 80 in a 60 limit might said van operator make a note of the bike's reg as it went past and might such evidence stand up in court, if there was no photograph showing the reg number, it being a front facing camera and all that? Or might the operator prefer to sit on their fat lazy arse and get the next half dozen cars round the bend instead? -- AndrewR, D.Bot (Celeritas) Aprilia RSV-1000R, Kawasaki ZX-6R, Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo BOTAFOT#2,ITJWTFO#6,UKRMRM#1/13a,MCT#1,DFV#2,SKoGA#0 (and KotL) BotToS#5,SBS#25,IbW#34, DS#5, COSOC# Suspended, KotTFSTR# The speccy Geordie twat.
When this, hypothetically, happened to a biker on the M42 who might have been doing 75 in a temp 50, he got a hypothetical 3 points and 60 quid fine in the post a couple of weeks later.
Arse. Did the M42 biker both asking for photographic evidence, or did they just bend over and take it like a man? -- AndrewR, D.Bot (Celeritas) Aprilia RSV-1000R, Kawasaki ZX-6R, Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo BOTAFOT#2,ITJWTFO#6,UKRMRM#1/13a,MCT#1,DFV#2,SKoGA#0 (and KotL) BotToS#5,SBS#25,IbW#34, DS#5, COSOC# Suspended, KotTFSTR# The speccy Geordie twat.
Dunno, but the innocent biker might want to consider getting a GPS with the PocketGPSWorld speed camera database loaded. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tigtona 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
So it tracks the vans as well, does it? Clever bit of kit, that. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'. Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) \`\ | /`/ DS#8 BOTAFOT#3 SbS#2 UKRMMA#13 DFV#8 SKA#2 IBB#10 `\\ | //' `\|/` `
Not 'tracks', but it does include the locations of anywhere they've been spotted. So far it's been 100% accurate on the ones I already knew about. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tigtona 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
The one in question was less than a mile from the innocent bikers house. He may be innocent, but he's also a spaz. -- AndrewR, D.Bot (Celeritas) Aprilia RSV-1000R, Kawasaki ZX-6R, Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo BOTAFOT#2,ITJWTFO#6,UKRMRM#1/13a,MCT#1,DFV#2,SKoGA#0 (and KotL) BotToS#5,SBS#25,IbW#34, DS#5, COSOC# Suspended, KotTFSTR# The speccy Geordie twat.
Doesn't the value in a bit of kit such as that come when it tells you about ones you don't know about?
I don't know about other areas but Northants have to state where they'll be trapping on any given day and they only have a set number of possibilities.
Yes, in fact it's almost a guarantee. and might such Yes, no doubt whatsoever. if there was no photograph showing the reg No, it's not something they do. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Not as spazzy as my old uncle Bill. He's got a Gatso right outside the lounge window of his flat and he's been snapped TWICE coming back from the pub. Pissed as a fart both times. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
I can think of several possible answers to that, many of which include words such as 'duh!' & 'mong', but as I'm feeling charitable[1], I'll just say 'yes'. [1] Kittens had their respective girly-bits/manly-bits sorted today, & seeing them lollop around in a dazed state has made me all sympathetic. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tigtona 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
With the standard of banter around here recently I'm never sure who's taking the piss and who's just being dumb. I usually go for the latter. It's much easier to play with someone elses and then hand it back when you're done.
In this case, the rider on the M42 knew full well that he'd been speeding[1], and being an honest sort of chap took the hit. [1] Because he deliberately rode through at 75 thinking "forward facing, can't get me"...
Feegle had his done several weeks back[1] - vet said 'he'll be quiet and withdrawn and won't want to eat'. He came back home, beat up the dachshund (as usual), ate an enormous meal (making up for the one he missed the night before and breakfast) and then chased Kelda round the garden for an hour or two. He's a tough little[2] kitty. Phil. [1] When we noticed that how he was grabbing Kelda was getting a little more.. personal. Fortunately she's 3 months younger and not mature.. [2] I say little - but at 6 months old he is bigger than our 17-year old. And still got outsized feet.
But it's even easier to rip the little fucker's heads off. More fun too. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
