Dont think we will need to worry here Gavo, as front stickers were trialed by the police and found wanting. Here, they turned the cameras around.

Vic has been trying to get this in for years

Isn't that the answer Brock? Turn the flippin cameras around. 

Nah that'll interrupt the revenue raising !

Much easier to make all the bike riders put a plate on their bikes and hell we can even make money out of that by charging the pesky buggers for the plates!

Jokes aside as I often say to my kids when they see a P plater acting like a dickhead, "You are the ones who will pay for that" and it is the same with bikes.

Sadly it is more than a few rotten apples spoiling it for the rest of us. You only have to ride any of the popular bike roads around here on a Sunday to see them.

I hate having a camera go off facing me, I think it's outright dangerous.  I know I've swerved when a camera has flashed in my face on the side of the road.  All speed cameras should take photos from behind for safety's sake.

The report makes no mention of the number of deaths/injuries/collisions as a result of motorcyclysts "speeding"through front facing cameras, but makes a big deal about how much is lost in speeding fines. That tells you exactly what the agenda is, does it not?
