From looking at their website there is a more than decent chance that the average speed cameras will be facing the front of vehicles and not the back (as at the Cat and Fiddle) so there's a good chance we won't need to be as careful as car drivers.

That's a poor attitude. It's attitudes and worse still, the verbalization of such attitudes like that that give the rest of us a bad name. Tut tut.

Ha ha.

Just stating the obvious; that bikers can concentrate on the road rather than watching speedometers. Relying on the sound of the engine to ensure we are there or thereabouts with our speeds.

And since we're writing English, in England, it's "verbalisation"... and it wasn't verbilised as I didn't say it lol.
