Went for a ride today with FazerKev. On my way over to Leeds on the A64 I spotted 2 police bikes, 3 T5's and a camera setup on an overbridge.

Kept my speed down on that run!


3 Hours later i'm heading back towars York. Traffic is getting heavier and heavier. It seemed to be backed up.

In the forward distance I see blue flashing lights against a myriad on floresent yellow. Great, an accident.

I slow my filtering down and go up a gear to quieten the beautiful music of the twin Akrapovics Smile and cruise on by.

Its a big un, 5 car pile up on the outside lane. - Where? about 100 meters before the cameras on the overbridge. Rolling Eyes

Nice wide road, nice and clear, some would do 150+ on that road Wink . No real need to jump on the brakes as it very open.

I wonder if the 'SAFETY' camera had anything to do with it? Rolling Eyes

they are self sustaining ,

theres this one on the way into london , after it was put in accidents increased , which was used as a justification for more cameras , which caused more accidents , but as said public support recently dipped below the 50% mark , probably as almost everybody is getting points from them (3 mil last year).

Kickstart will be along very soon I'm sure with some more stats on cameras that he has found.

Siggi its strange when ever I see a video made over seas about riding like yours and the one I posted up my attention is always drawn to the left and thinking there aren't many cameras are there?.

Must have developed this bad habit recently
