They'll go off if your going over 33mph, I think the general rule is Speed Limit + 10%. Mobile cameras may be diffent! I watched Traffic Cops once and a camera van operator said that he set his gun to 49mph and he was in a 40 zone.

Bikes don't leak oil',.... they mark their territory :o)           Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. Growing old is manditory... but growing up...well that my friends...is OPTIONAL!

Barnardos Sunday, the trouble is you can only keep that speed up for a few miles, unless your drug assisted... Normal average is around 22 to 25 mph

There is no reason why not - the law states only motorised vehicles can be ticketed.
