Police Radar really can pick up motorbikes

if we deregulated the roads and let them find a natural speed balance the community would be much better off

You mean like natural selection? Survival of all those that don’t kill themselves when they have an accident at insane speeds?

if they’re thumping along above the speed limit, it’s a safe bet you can go for it too because there’s no radar around.

Particularly if you’re right behind them and in their radar shadow 😉

Perhaps our Learner was picked up by an unmarked car the old fashioned way. They cruise along behind the speder at the same speed, log it and then turn on the lights. Seems pretty far fetched, but that’s the way it was done not so long ago. Hence the old pre XC interceptors have a speedo mounted in the glove box.

He’s right. They talk to each other on the radio and know where the cops are. If they’re barrelling along its a pretty safe bet there are no cops around.

I’ve got a UHF so I hear well in advance where the cops and speed cameras are.

I have a friend who’s a truckie, and they’ve got it sussed apparently. He said watch what they do on the highways, and if they’re thumping along above the speed limit, it’s a safe bet you can go for it too because there’s no radar around.

Personally I think he’s full of shit.

Radar detectors don’t work.

except for govt revenue raising.

i cant see why bikes would be exempt from radar ? that defies physics. i believe the current radar systems use a laser dot to focus on the numberplate of a car or a similar area on a bike.

such as a headlight.

you should fit a radar detector if you want to avoid fines.

of course when the 60Ghz adaptive cruise control radars hit the market, expect some ‘hacking’.

I must be a wuss or something – I never got much above 110 on my Ls…
