GT's at Silverstone (speed cameras)

[matt172]

Not that any of you would speed, but just a heads up incase the police do the same thing this weekend for the GT's

As you may know British Superbikes were at Silverstone at the weekend.

I had to travel along the A43 on Saturday and Sunday.

There were signs up all over the place telling bikers not to speed.

In addition to the ordinary speed cameras, there were vans on both sides on the road near Silverstone for the weekend.
I don't know if this was to generate extra revenue or to actually encourage people to slow down.
I didn't see any daft action on the A43, even though there were lots of bikes.

Here are the results of the anti speed campaign www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news?articleid=2842650
Lots more cars speeding than bikes!

It is amazing when you read the SCPs comment though

Sgt Jon Hodgson, of the Northamptonshire Safety Camera Partnership, said: "It is disappointing that we caught 22 people speeding, although as this was over two days – Saturday and Sunday – we possibly could have expected more.

Looks like they left out the word 'only' before caught.
We could possibly have expected more, Surely they should be delighted that they caught fewer people than anticipated, after all their aim is to catch no one isnt it, because everyone is complying?

Or am I wrong and they're disppointed because they didnt make as much money as anticipated
