Perhaps who ever thought this up used the piece of string method.
It is bordering on the impossible to judge 60kph after riding at speed. Just think what it feels like after driving at 70mph on the motorway then pulling onto the slip road..............
The MGP rules state give way to riders leaving their pits, should a rider not do this penalise that rider. The rule is in place but to my knowledge the officials have never NEVER used it to penalise a rider. The officials are able to make judgement of dangerous riding in the pits, so why don't they.......all it takes is a pitlane camera for monitoring and job done. If the rider in question wishes to appeal let that happen.
Phil Taubman says no right of protest or appeal, presume proof will be presented to the offending rider or are we back to the piece of string again.
Flippin crackers
Erm speedometers if mounted must be covered over according ACU rules/handbook.
I know this sounds like stating the obvious but would it be possible to install a mobile speed camera with a display so at least the riders have a fair chance of keeping to the limit. also i think they should have kept the stop box as well.
As what happens when drivers are approaching road works in Australia. Sometimes I don't believe it though, despite being on the big screen in front of my face. Surely it's not correct. Guess it is.... Very embarrassing. I immediately look at my speedo and yep, I am guilty. Expecting every machine to have a speedo fitted for this purpose is ridiculous.
