Explain a bit better
was it a front facing camera or a rear facing one?
The chance of getting caught by a front facing cam on a bike is low unless its a mobile camera van.
If you keep doing that route at 100, they will eventually catch you tho..

you're fine.

Front facing cameras don't visibly flash.

Gatsos flash both directions to catch speeders but they're only pproved going 1 way.

You'll be fine unless you do that route and get flashed quite a few more times, they usually try to trace the bike from its special features, so buy a common as muck bike Laughing

You didn't kill someone.

You are overreacting.

Well that's ok, just make sure you hide any evidence when the team of detectives and forensic experts come round your house Thumbs Up

Burn your bike + lid and dissolve your armor in acid just in case they come looking for you!

No wonder you didn't know what the speed limit was if you couldn't see the signs.

tinted visor at night = bad idea.

Pot holes are hard enough to dodge in the daylight... must be impossible when you can't see them. And my visor isnt even tinted that much Laughing

Im fine wit potholes etc... if i end up in the dark with a tinted visor, the only thing i struggle with worryingly is cyclists.

Also...

That's what I think.. buy a standard bike and keep it that way as much as possible.. no colourful stickers which look like cheap Halfrauds merchandise anyway.

Couple of errors here.......

One, you are supposed to watch the road, not the GPS....
Two, Never trust a GPS to give the correct speed for the road..... Even if you updated it every day, its never going to have the correct speed for every road, as the councils won't update the companies doing the updates every day....

Always look for the speed limit signs....

As to the spelling, if the spell check on this site does not work... Install ie spell

Hence why im not down loading the patch above, i am perfectly capable of spelling and using punctuation correctly, i am also perfectly capable of using a dictionary.

However i dont see BCF as an important enough thing for me to go out of my way to write perfectly hence me not always using capital I's and apostrophies, this is mainly out of habit and should i have to write in the queens perfect english at all times, i think i would find myself posting a hell of a lot less.

Thinking perhapse this would be a good thing...
