while riding on road back from Edale today a google streetcam passed me coming the other way - camera up but moving same speed as rest of traffic around 30mph
?do i keep checking to see if i'm "famous" or do they go real slow when "filming"?

They film at normal speed but they edit out the faces of people and horses so you won't see that much of yourself. There's a month or so wait I think though from past experience.

well i had clothes on and the relative closing speed would have been lower than average due to my lack of road prowess

Also, Colonel Sanders identify is kept a secret.

The horse is blurred but the people aren't. How odd.

A mate at work checked his house on Google - his missus was stood in the bedroom window in just a towel!
