Motorbikers Or Mobile Phone Users
16 Answers
Who are the bigger menace?
Coming out of Brighton, there's a (long!) stretch of roadworks with a 40mph limit, and Average Speed Cameras.
Average Speed Cameras have traditionally been front facing. The added benefit is that they would Hoover up anyone driving using a mobile phone.
But on this stretch, they are back facing. This is so that they catch motorbikes. The down side is that they no longer catch mobile phone users.
Good decision?
Who are the bigger menace on the road? People riding motorbikes? Or people driving while using a mobile phone?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I very much doubt that anyone actually looks at most of the images (even if such images actually exist). Average speed cameras work by reading the number plate of a vehicle and passing it on to the next camera down the road, so that an average speed can be calculated. If a vehicle is speeding the system will generate a report giving the location, the vehicle registration number and its average speed. It's that report (rather than any photographs) which will be used to send a Notice of Intended Prosecution to the registered keeper of the vehicle.
While it's possible (and indeed likely) that the cameras also take actual pictures of the vehicle and its driver, there would be no reason for anyone to look at those pictures unless there was a dispute over the evidence of a speeding offence.
