can motorbikes get speeding tickets from mobile speed camera vans?

Question

Basically I was on a dual carriageway and it's a 50 zone and i was going 60-65 and I went over a small bank and facing towards me (the camera) was a mobile speed camera van, it was about 150-250 yards away but cant be sure. Could I get a speeding ticket even though it didnt get my number plate and do they have cameras in the driving area to get bikers number plates? I am really nervous now as I'm in my first 2 years and I'm only allowed 6 points!
P.S I live in the UK
Thanks

Answer 1

Short answer is YES.The cameras take pictures both front and rear and even if they don't get your face being the owner you are responsible for it's use and the ticket is yours.

Answer 2

As a sport bike rider (CBR1000RR) and a Photographer I can tell you that they can......provided they have the right angle.



If they get a glimpse of you plate, at any speed your done. I don't care how fast your bike, its not faster than the camera, especially on sunny days.



On a nice bright day, good digital cameras will use a shutter speed in the thousands of a second, like 3,000/1........which means it only takes 3000th's of a second for the camera to record the image......like I said, no matter how fast you are, the camera's faster

Some of the vans have multiple cameras, if the operator clocks a bike speeding towards him he can then save images of the back of the bike. The Notice of Intention to Prosecute (NIP) must be posted within 14 days to the Registered Keeper – if you are not the RK there is a chain of NIPs as whoever it is sent to has to name the driver/rider or take the fine and points themselves – so it can take longer to arrive. If you are the RK and do not receive anything within 3-4 weeks you should be safe.

Answer 4

I know from experience that camera vans can get bikes from the front or the rear. They have cameras that face both ways.

Answer 5

No, it's just an ice cream van in disguise! Wod du ya thinks it's there 4?

Answer 8

The hand held cameras the police use are actually radar guns which do not take a photograph, so the lack of registration plate means nothing. If they had clocked your speed and decided to take action they would have contacted the police car/bike further up the motorway and had them pull you over for a chat. The fact they didn't suggests no further action will be taken, since without catching you in the act or having photographic evidence, it's their word against yours.

Answer 9

Yes you can, the operator uses the laser to determine your speed and take a picture of the front of the vehicle. Then the operator can note down your number himself or most camera vans have small cameras on the front to get the registration number as a bike passes.



As for the NIP, it must be posted to the registered keeper within 14 days, so allow 21 days for it to arrive.

Technically speaking, it can go two ways, but I've found out that in Az, if you are wearing a full face helmet, photo radar cameras (mobile or fixed) cant give motorcycle riders a ticket without a clear picture of the riders face. The cameras must have the front pic of the driver and a clear pic of the face, and a pic of the rear with the plate. Thats why there was a big ordeal with a guy wearing a monkey mask blowing through the cameras at 90+ mph, and they couldnt give him any tickets. They couldnt prove it was him. Motorcycle riders are the same, without a clear face picture, they cant prove who was riding the bike, so they overlook the tickets. I've gone through about 4 or 5 of them on accident, and never got issued ant tickets.

Heres a link to the guy in the mask who avoided like 90 tickets. He never did pay for them....

Answer 13

A camera facing back toward you will not be able to photograph your number plate, so you'll be OK. If you spotted the mobile camera van at 150-250 yards away, then it won't take your photo from that range anyway. I'd say you need to be within 20 yards, just like a fixed camera. The general threshold for speeding is 10% + 2. So in a 50 zone you'd need to be travelling at 57mph to trigger a speed camera.

Answer 16

yeah i know that you can get it but in good news most intersections with red light cameras cant take a picture of motorcycles cutting the light due to the weight.
