Cool guy
Randomly surfing the net can be a cool idea, I stumbled upon this speed camera site, it’s USA based, but the guy involved takes a stand against revenue based camera installations and even drives out to sites that are being monitored by a physical police presence and holds up a sign warning motorists to slow down.
A gut reaction may be that he is helping people cheat the law, but as he testifies in a videoed encounter with a plod he is simply reducing everyone’s speed in the area rather than the panic reaction of a few drivers who actually spot the police.
As a biker and an obvious target for the boys in blue, I support this type of action and have done it myself by ‘waving down’ oncoming traffic to warn them of mobile gatsos or police radar traps. To be honest, I’ve also done it when i think oncoming drivers are taking the piss a bit… it serves the same goal.
Today the heavens opened like I haven’t seen in years, and thanks to my new job I had no choice but to ride in it. My usual 50 minute commute turned into about an hour and a half because, basically, I couldn’t see anything, the rain was that harsh.
