I don't know how I can do things differently. Sometimes you can't keep I keep trying to get a speeding ticket on my bike, but haven't managed it yet. The cops are either absent or too busy to care. If a cop does ever pull me over, I'm going to try to talk him UP, then frame the sucker. It's pretty hard to nail a bike for speeding, it's not big enough for the radar gun to get a bead on it. Beading the rider is hard, because there is no hard surface for the beam to bounce off of. If it does bounce, the beam gets defused everywhere. They need to clock you differently, and then there are legal issues. Say your passing a car, that the officer clocks at 125km/h how fast are you going? Can he prove that your going the stated speed...... It also depends on the speed limit, if the speed limit is 110km/h (68MPH) then that's harder to exceed then a school zone speed limit of 40km/h (25MPH), especially on a heavy mountain bike with knobby tires. Exceeding the 110km/h speed limit would be easier on a light weight road bike or a racing bike, but what's the point, just to see how fast you can burn out? W |
