No radar or laser in UK?? I could learn to ride on other side if that's true!
As Kal mentioned, at the moment we're trying to prove they're ineffective against bikes, but heres the reasoning if you're curious


Laser requires that its aimed at a flat spot to attain an accurate reading... show me the flat spot on a bike, its all curved, which buggers up any chance of an accurate reading

Radar has difficulty achieving an accurate lock on a bike, due to the sheer lack of metal, in comparison to a car.

Kal

what are Gatsos? Never thought of UK as crowded but never been there. Got kin there, in Ireland and on Jersey. Speed cameras are illegal here in Colorado, but not the stoplite cameras.
