Speed Cameras in Cat's Eyes!

[ColdInsomnia]

Yes it's possible, and yes they're looking into it (In Wales at least).

Not the main focus of the story in the link, but it certainly jumped out at me (Not to mention the use of a decapitated motorcyclist to deter speeding).

Read the link, it'll all become clear.

Even more reason for me to take my plate off, ride without insurance, MOT, Tax etc..

they have to tell you were they are, so a dab of black paint out the car door in the dead of night will sort that.

I doubt they'll ever use them. They'd be far too easy to steal.

Also as steveh said, people would end up painting them. I do believe that would be dangerous for motorists

[Ade]

Paint them?
You guys sure do go to some effort

Sledgehammer anyone?

[Mooncatt]

didnt think they would be allowed to do this, dont speed cameras have to be visiblw to motorists???

oh and yes i have also tried to remove a cats eye took me AND my mate about 15 mins to do it, we put it back though and we were both sloshed

Nasty little beasts. Linky to some info on what they look like and how they work.
Would seem the jocks already have trials of them.

No point in these at all.

The entire point in speed cameras is supposed to be to stop people speeding through a visible deterent, just like the copper in his brightly coloured car.
All these would be is a secret camera which the likes of MCN would have yet another campaign against, wait for next weeks edition

You bikers all drive too bloody fast anyway.
It is about time there was a workable method introduced to curb that behaviour.

The technology is there for the camera in the cats eye but the cost and accuracy will be prohibitive. The PC Prat is just using it as scare tactics, abit like don't look under your bed there is a monster. Next thing he will be saying is that the police will be fitted with bionic legs so that they can run after you or have helmet cams on the Lollypop ladies to watch you.
It is Zealots like him that are in the Taliban and the like. Same personality and charicteristics, just one is a religious fanatic and the other kills people.

thing is a Gatso is pretty high up you need something to stand on to spray its camera if you are so inclined, all it'd take to nullify this would be some muddy rain and a dry spell , hell even with dry spells you get a ton of dust and dirt over the road,

seems highly vulnerable too so a can of paint.
