Front Facing Speed Cameras?!

[StottyB]

Ok i got flashed by one of the speed cameras that points towards you.............can they actually do anything seeing as the number plate's on the back!?

Also the flash is surprisingly disorientating and i would have consdiered it a hazard!?

Any enlightenment greatly appreciated

Think I 'could' have been flashed a few times by em but never heard anything. Would'nt advise making a habit of it with the same camera as they could be lying in wait for you one day near the camera to catch you out with lots of pretty pictures of the front of your bike. Bit unlikely I know and its probably me just being paranoid.

gatsos on minor roads will flash if you ride towards them too fast........

Was following a car about a month ago that went through a forward facing camera - purple flash.

don't make a habit out of it , tons of bike pictures from the front may piss off the gov to introduce laws and or cameras that can catch bikes and we all know how repressive NL can put in laws can't we?

All the best

I'm sure i was caught today by a forward facing mobile camera.I was on the bike and the camera was in a van.I'm sure when i went past the van the driver was writing down my reg number. Can you be prosecuted this way? I thought they needed a picture of your number plate?

i think they have to prove with a photo and the exact time. i wouldnt think just writing down your number would be suffecient,
if you took it to court and asked to see the speed camera photo. it wouldn't have your plate on it so along with a scribble on a peice of paper it wouldnt be admissible.
mabee some one knows something contary to this,

i always give the one finger salute to cameras.

Hi

Yes they can prosecute you on the evidence of a written down registration number.

I went through a forward facing one in the truck today and got a big white flash, tis my own stupid fault I knew it was there I've been past it a hundred times. Doh!
