Cute video Troy.

For those visiting Troy, heed his caution, this is taken looking out from his front gate across the road into the neighbour's front yard, and it's daytime, they're meant to be asleep!

Good lord!  And I thought our "woods rats"  (ie white tail deer) were a hazard.

Things we have to dodge in Nevada.

[Millietant]

These are what we have to dodge in the UK....and they're everywhere, hiding in the bushes, under bridges, on top of poles, all over the place....and they're there to catch out any unsuspecting, distracted or poorly concentrating rider, any time of the day or night, regardless of traffic conditions and in any weather.

We have more of them in our tiny little island than in the whole of the USA (all 50 states combined).

The "average" ones are the worst, you can't even slow down for them and then speed back up once you pass them !!!

I thought you blokes figured those out with road flares and worn tires!

[Millietant]

There are just too many of them and now they're mounting them high above the road.

The next step that is being considered again is microchips in number plates to track location and speed 100% of the time so that automatic fines can be processed the second you break the speed limit. I'm sure this will again be defeated easily, but it shows the mentality of the advisors and public safety bodies involved in the ongoing development of our traffic laws

Holy crap Dean, but then again, wasn't George Orwell a Brit?

Don't have to "microchip" your number plate...if you got the covid vax, the chips are in there...so no matter which bike you're riding.

[Millietant]

Well, I'm screwed all ways now then 

[fj1289]

I simply got one in each arm - the signals will interfere and cancel out the other!

We got a red light camera here about ten years ago.

It was up for less than a year. Then, it got declared unconstitutional.

So all we got to worry about is actual real cops.

[krusty]

Here we now have mobile (cell) phone detector cameras. $344 fine and 5 points (max of 12 points before loss of licence). Points penalty is doubled on public holidays for any traffic law infringement.

We need that here.  If only we could have that without the rest of it.

I wonder how the law is written for enforcement? In Kalifornia it is not illegal to hold a portable recording device or a GPS. How does the camera know the difference?
