Why Aren't Motorcycles Caught Speeding by Speed Cameras?
1 Answers
Motorcycles often evade speed cameras due to the triggering mechanism of electronic eyes. The induction loops embedded in roads and radar detection systems are primarily designed for cars, making it difficult for the smaller tire sizes and wheelbases of motorcycles to activate the sensors. However, newer camera systems can capture speeding motorcycles, and some advanced high-definition cameras not only detect motorcycle speeding but also monitor violations such as overloading and riding without helmets. The dangers of motorcycle speeding include: Inability to obtain sufficient road information: Excessive speed causes traffic signs to flash by too quickly, increasing the risk of missing critical signage, especially in unfamiliar areas. Narrowed field of vision during speeding: High speeds significantly reduce a rider's forward visibility, creating a more restricted field of view compared to normal riding conditions.
