I'm more worried about the people who see national and do 40, progress to a 30 and continue to do 40.

And in my experience, this is very likely to be someone driving a car with children on board.

I can actually see this talking more people into getting bikes.
Considering they cannot be caught by average speed cameras.
I wouldn't count on it - easily solved by rear facing cameras.

Well .... not without a hell of a lot of work / research.
Why not?

No front plate.

But I guess that could be a new law too

There are a couple of ways to deal with this I think, although neither are plausable and have flaws

1) Somehow get everyone to not get caught for the first few months - they lose a shed load of money and look like helmets. But oh, yes, we get stung to pick up the cost. Bugger.

2) We do a typical half hearted British protest, by having a bit of a grumble on car forums, and moaning in the pub. A bit like when petrol prices went through the roof. Of course they will listen!

So the only solution is unusually, to be more like the Frogs and start getting angry. Arranging mass camera slaughter meets! We have the means to do such clandestine things via the use of the various forums and PM system

I have so much respect for those unnamed bunch who went around torturing Gatsos in the most amusing ways (self expanding foam / paint / chain swas etc)

It's the sort of thing only the sort of c unt who's so retarded that they become a busybody could dream up and it won't work:

You know where the SPECS are from your GPS (any person with a built-in satnav looks like a plonker!) so you turn off onto a C-road before you reach the second and go back the other way.

It's time some of these politiciunts were publically lynched though - they've been pissing on us for too long...
