bike only speed cameras

Derbyshire Police has released a notice with a bounty of £100,000 for any firm that can develop a speed camera to single out motorcycles from other vehicles.

* Read the notice issued here

The system would be designed to act accordingly when a motorcycle passes and it would measure our speed, video us, capture our number plates and even flash messages on roadside signs like our registration number and speed.

To find out more about the £100,000 bounty, get the May 21 edition of MCN, out now

Re: bike only speed cameras

My 2 pence worth

I saw a piece on BBC East Midlands news tonight about the Think Bike campaign, as this campaign is aimed at other road users paying more attention to bikers I am in favour. BBC NEWS | England | Motorbike deaths increasing

The piece only drew a speculative 50/50 shot as to whether the main causes of accidents with bikes was excessive speed or unattentive road users

I would rather see more money being spent on more bike awareness amongst other road users than see the money go into a project that, in my opinion would like other speed camera initiatives seek monetary gain whilst posing as a safety initiative.
