I belive the Saony IP range to be very good at reading number plates from distance,

I believe you're spamming this newsgroup, Mr Turner.

Do you think he means to spam about Sony or Sanyo?

If not spam, take note of recent QI prog where they said motorcycle was best for speed cameras as they only read *front* number plates. Which may or may not actually be true...

Maybe he's been spending so long looking at cctv his eyes have gone funny.

Gatsos can only read rear plates so I guess there is your answer (actually the camera doesn't care but the safety police only let them do rears).
So what. Just do a wheelie when you go past a Gatso on a motorbike.
What's that got to do with cameras only reading front plates?
Actually, thinking again, to be fair, they were talking about why motorcycles are exempt from London's congestion charge, rather than Gatso's: I don't know if the monitors for the congestion charge work the same way.

Gatso's read rear number plates...........
The same reason lpg and electric cars are exempt, they "don't" cause congestion. 8-|
Truvelos (sp?) only do fronts, don't they?
No: that is the reply the 'QI elves' had set up as the booby trap: only motorcyclist Ross Noble knew the 'correct' answer: that they don't have front number plates (mind you, I still have a couple somewhere!)
