No mate he wont get done.

There is no way the Police could investigate this and confirm his identity before the mandatory 14 days time limit runs out

It is wrong, but until the government change the law on number plates on bikes its a little loop hole that bikers are lucky to have.

On the western ring road in Nottingham there are Specs speed cameras and they cant detect bikes either.......hence bikes speeding along that road like its a motorway whilst drivers of other vehicles are stuck at 40mph.....

I think in court a motorist could plead victimisation, as motorbikers are as good as exempt from any forward facing speed camera equipment....

 

So what if they do have a camera facing out of the side and have his plate on video,    Can they be presented in court or do they have to have a video of him speeding and the plate in one complete shot?

Thanks

The only way they can prosecute is if they have a rear shot of the bike at the excess speed, with its number plate visible.

I have never seen any of the MCVs with cameras facing both ways, so that to me rules out the operator switching sides inside the van and refocusing on the speeding bike as it passed out the other side of the bridge.

He is safe, although stupid to do that speed in the first place.

The camera will record his speed and have his reg. no. in the photo,I would imagine.
edit;webby may well be right about them not using 2 cameras in the same van,I wouldnt know tbh.
As for the speed being stupid,imo it depends on circumstances,it wouldnt be considered stupid or illegal on certain German autobahns for example,but we have covered that subject many times in the past.

Thanks for the positive news mate,   My mate will be well relieved

[Mr Skrunts]

Yes Vamps,cameras which photograph the front of the vehicle to record reg. no. and identify driver dont really work on bikes as bikes dont have a front no. plate.

and they wear masks

No worries mate, and I agree with you, IF he was on a derestricted autobahn in Germany then alls fair in love and war but he was here in the UK, doing highly illegal speeds on a public road


 

[albitz]

Illegal agreed,stupid? different people have different views I suppose,my view is that it depends on various circumstances.

[p j morgan]

sorry to but in if the cops did not stop  him further up the  motorway i would say he has got away with it !they normaly have a patrol car or motor bike on the slip road waing to go after the excessive speeders in his case the didn't he has proberly got away with it

[handy]

anyone on here that rides bikes (fast) that has first hand experience form this??


Some saying that he will prob get away with it and some saying he wont

[albitz]

I ride bikes ....slowly ........If it was a camera van and if they were using the camera to photograph the front of vehicles then I dont see how he could get a ticket.



Tbh,I got caught a few weeks ago,going faster than your mate was going,but it wasnt a camera,it was a bloody big Volvo that came flying(almost literally)up the M11 behind me.
