would seem it is extremely easy to beat them for the time being ;)

(not that it really applies to bikes though :D )
You know what will happen next!
Whenever these cameras are used you will be shepherded into specific lanes without being able to change :(
You would have thought they would have sorted out there short comings before investing millions of tax payers money in them :rolleyes:
Who said bung? :laugh1

Its the price that struck me £180,000 upwards........
That is a serious amount of dosh.......you could employ a lot of Bobbies for that money. enough to run shift 24X7 on that point and some spare, so we could have a couple chasing real criminals, and the 24X7 shift on the road point could be looking out for various offences as well as speeding.

ah but that argument had already been done about having a front plate on the bikes, and it was binned because it was deemed to be unsafe because of having nowhere to fit one ;)
remember the old bikes that used to have a big plate hanging off the side of the fork leg ;)
they were taken off because they were deemed to be dangerous in a crash.
but i wouldnt put it past them to allow a smaller adhesive one to be designed to go on the screen of the bike :(

It seems it was always about the money now if this new article is anything to go by too ;)
