On the tendem Miss T & I regularly set off the 20mph gatso on the descent of Pepy's Road into New Cross.
totaly depends on the speed limit, on a 30mph camera the threshold is about 34mph, where as on a 70mph camera the thereshold is more 82mph.on the road said:I've heard that you have to go about 10 mph over the speed limit to trigger them, something to do with too much paperwork.
dudi said:Just because cyclist cannot be prosecuted (as far as I am aware) for breaking the speed limit as they have no permenant and calibrated speedometer, that doesnt mean we should be flouting the law.
Regardless of whether we can be prosecuted for speeding, we ought to try and obey the speed rules as much as if we were driving.
Thanks BM. Never been sure about the rules around that.BentMikey said:This bit is wrong. Bicycles aren't subject to speed laws on the public highway because the law only applies to motor vehicles, it's nothing to do with having or not having a calibrated speedometer.
