Speed camera video

[Kickstart]

Hi

Ages ago the BBC had a piece on speed cameras which showed a couple of people crashing having spotted the camera. Once they realised this showed cameras in a bad light rather than drivers the video disappeared from their web site, and they claimed not to know where it was. And Norfolk speed camera partnership claimed to have no idea where the film came from, despite various requests.

Well the film has now turned up.

Crashes are at about 2 minutes. Also got the video of what some have claimed to be a police rider at ~120mph (doesn't look like he is doing anything like that speed despite what the camera says).

And A short cartoon about it.

All the best

lol typical the biker gets caught doing 137mph, average speed cameras are the worst, cagers sit there glued to the speedo trying to sit at 70mph all day long and don't look ahead or behind them.

Yeah there is no way that bike was doing a genuine 137mph. You can tell by the rate it passes the dashed lines that it is travelling only marginally above the speed of the red car.

Surely one would have thought that the logical thing to do to reduce road deaths would be to investigate the reasons behind the other 67%.

Seeing as he only dabbed the brakes and seem to be going pretty slow no way was is over 100, and doesn't it say "error" on the display when it shows the speed

Laughable

I have done a little analysis of the biker clip in the video.
I counted the number of video frames that the biker takes to travel between the two arrows, which was approximately 31 (approx because it's hard to tell exactly!)
I made an assumption of 25fps for the video, as I do not know exactly what it is.
From there it was simple to estimate how far he would have travelled in that time if he was doing 137mph - 76 metres.

Those arrows don't look 76 metres apart to me.

I did read somewhere that it was closer to about 13% of accidents are caused by excessive speed, can't remember where though.

Keith, as you can wipe the floor with anyone who dares test your knowledge, have you ever considered taking the government to court on the basis of, I dunno, manipulation of evidence or something?

Ooo, or discrimination against Bikers - I mean, they lick muslims arse when they complain about not being able to wear a bracelet to school, so surely we should all get brand new r1's?

Nah kickstart is smart he doesn't want to end up 6 ft under if he embarrasses the government.

Why before a speed is shown for the biker does "Error D3" appear on each occasion?

730.6 m @ time 2:19 - 137 mph?
380.1 m @ time 2:26 - 110 mph?
= 350.5 M in 7 sec = ~50 Meters a sec =
~111mph average speed between those two points.
