So don't do it. Its not worth it, I've had two friends pick up bans last year for it.
That said, there's a time and a placePopular bike roads on a Sunday aren't it.
Also, as I read it:
Inspector McManus wrote:"It's only about really excessive speed. If someone is just over that's not a problem, we're going to try and use police bikers to stop the offenders and give them a leaflet and a chat, and they will be dealt with as normal. We will only prosecute high-end offenders - we're talking double the speed limit - and that will be a high profile prosecution. Last summer on YouTube, in Lincolnshire we had two guys doing top-end, 180mph. It's got to stop."
Agreed Kitch, but if you have put say 10K worth of overtime budget into catching the nutters and the nutters dont show, you then need some not so quite nutter prosecutions to fund the project! (hope that reads alright) All government run projects are about money! Stats and budget! For example there is a safety camera van on the main trunk road past my village. It is usually there for a couple of hours a day 7 days a week. There are very few houses and no pedestrians. This has to be a money maker! if it was in the village near the school it would then be a SAFETY camera.
Anyway I am not going to gripe anymore so sorry for venting my spleen on you guys and girls.
