This is not another "how to get out of paying" thread...
I was riding home last night and someone coming the other way flashed their headlights and sure enough there was a blue van parked on the side of the road up ahead. No problem, I thought, I wasn't going too fast (105 tops). But just as I was going past I was overtaken by a car which I'm guessing was speeding as it was going significantly faster than me. Flash. More than likely I was in the photo as well.
It made me wonder:
* If there are two vehicles in a speed camera photo, how do they know which one was speeding?
* Is it possible for them to identify a motorcyclist from a head on photo, given there is no plate on the front?
* Why don't motorcycles have plates on the front? They used to (facing sideways on the front guard). On Top Gear a while ago they said it was because they ended up injuring people who went over the bars - is this really the reason?
