Can't whinge about that. Gonna be no worse off than car drivers and it's better than having a plate on the front.
I'm more concerned about the unmanned cameras which as a change of policy are now to be sited not at just accident blackspots but anywhere there is revenue to be raised, even on minor roads.
It comes as a report revealed more speed cameras could be put on country roads in Norfolk to help cut the number of crashes.
In the past, government guidelines have meant safety cameras can only be put on busy roads or in rural areas with very high collision levels.
But the rules have now changed and counties such as Norfolk are being given more flexibility over where cameras are sited.
With 68pc of crashes which result in injuries or death occurring on so-called non-trunk rural single carriageways, officials want to explore targeting more country roads.

What a load of bollocks that is. We live on a junction where there is an accident at least once a month and they have done sod all to fix the problem. It is caused by the nature of the bend and the blind spot with the windscreen pillar. Get the speed right and you cannot see the car or bike you are about to pull out on.
It is always low speed accidents and at least one of the vehicals are write offs. Can't see them putting in a speed camera that does not pull in the revenue
