Those cameras are so easily defeated that I almost have no sympathy for those who get caught by them, other than my normal contempt for state fundraising under the guise of safety. In AZ those cameras have two warning signs, one 1/2 mile ahead and the next 300 ft. ahead. Ditto for the mobile units. How can you not see them? Everyone slows down for them. On my bike I can easily do 90mph between the sensor wires, since there's about an 8" gap between each lane and my bike doesn't weigh that much, even if I hit the wire. If there are no cars slowing me down, I make it a point to speed excessively past those cameras, just as I make it a point to be slobbering drunk while doing CA online traffic school. Hey, I have my principles. Besides, the tickets mean nothing unless you get caught by the process server and I don't answer my front door for unexpected company. I've heard they don't even bother mailing tix to bikers wearing full-face helmets, since they can't match the face with the drivers license photo.
