[quote="gromag"]Hi guys!
I think that one is a great picture!
I believe it's between 60-70Km/h (40-50mph) because the curve seems quite sharp.

On familiar roads, I guage the speed I can take a curve based often on the posted "curve speed" sign. For instance, if a sign reads curve ahead, with a suggested speed of 25, that tells me I can take it at about 50. That doesn't mean that I always do, just that if I'm doning 80, and the curve sign says 25, I'd better brush off some speed before I get there.

I've got one picture!

I told a lie! I've got one picture.

But that was from the police camera! :mrgreen:

I used to apply the same method when I was back riding in Italy, and it's proved safe! ;)

Here in UK I feel roads are much more dangerous and wet and speed cameras are everywhere! That's why I'm sticking with the speed limits as much as I can.
My way to work it's full of speed cameras, and I believe, sometimes it's much more distractive and dangerous constantly monitoring your clock, to keep it down to 30 mph + (3% allowance), than concentrating on the street and vehicles around you.

is the camera in your area very good?

i mean if all they see is jut a blur and then you might be able to get away w/ it.

:laughing: if it was only one, than could be a solution!!! ;)
Along the 8 miles trip to go to work I can smile :D at about 50 cameras and I'm not exagerating!!!

Consider that along a 2 miles road there are cameras every 150-200 yards! Tell me if that is not paranoid!!! :frusty:

:D I think someone worked out that with Gatso cameras, the kind most frequently used in the UK, you would have to do something like 180mph to outsmart the technology. Mind you, 180mph is only supposed to be a rough figure. What are the consequences of it not working? Anyone like to try? :frusty:
