Government response to 'Speeding Fines' petition
I've just published on www.inter-bike.co.uk the governments response to the petition calling for a freeze on motorcycle speeding fines until until such time that the Government tests and approves all speed detection equipment for use specifically on motorcycles.
It will come as no surprise to all motorcyclists out there that the governments response is "NO". So although type approved speed detection equipment is not tested on motorcycles the governments position is its OK to use them on motorcycles!!!
Amazing how an something can be untested but OK to use, a motorcycle is not a car and its shape and profile are entirely different.
I as motorcyclist would want to be happy that the speed detection equipment used, actually accurately records the speed of a motorcycle, before its readings were used as evidence to convict for speeding.
What do you think?
Ride Safe!
