its nto about he wheel base they measure the time it takes for ur front(or even rear) wheels to go over both lines

These hidden speed cameras do not stop or prevent speeding. Logic dictates that if speeding is indeed dangerous, then stopping and preventing speeding must be the absolute first priority, NOT issuing fines! And to do that, we need highly-visible Police-presence that can deter and stop the offenders. At the very least, these devices should be blatently obvious and signposted, so as to discourage drivers from speeding. Hidden speed cameras DO NOT deter speeding and absolutely do not stop the offender from continuing to speed.

A day will come when a speeder is caught on a speed camera, yet allowed to continued at speed and plow into a crowd or a school. The fact that a speed camera may catch a speeder but not stop one, may open the government to a law-suite/class-action suite.

On the topic of speed cameras though, as with most (if not all, or at least near enough to all) I find them ridiculous. You can go flying up to them, jump on the brakes when you see the sign, and then get straight back up to speed once you pass it. And even if you do get caught it doesn’t stop anyone from speeding, bar losing your licence.

The same goes for cops hiding behind trees, signs etc. I saw one the other day sitting on an entry ramp to the highway, which happens to have a large wall in front of it. In other words he was literally impossible to see from the highway unless you spend your time looking out the back of your car. Who is that stopping? No one.

These things have a time – school zones – and a place – blackspots. And yet they continue to put them in areas that will raise the most revenue.

I’m guessing the camera is there to validate the counts. Note that it’s pointing at the back of the cars so that it knows when a vehicle has passed so that it’ll snap a photo. Then a guy back at the office to checks the photos against what the counter thought was there.

Give the police a break, no one likes to be caught speeding. They are there to do a job. If you reckon they’re deliberately out there to get you then you are living one paranoid life.

lol

Looks like a water tight box to a level. Mmmm how about filling it with petrol and chucking a match in it. Did I really suggest that, no never.
I’m actually surpised its still there and a passing semi hasn’t tail whipped it.

Please car advice… stop holding out on us! We know you are in on it! ****sarcasm****

Is it or isnt it a speed detector?

Cheers,

F-O

maybe its too late by the time you see the sign, but techniclly speaking, 99% of the time they are operating to the set rules

Alan,
if the car turning right is left stranded in the intersection when the light turns red, then he/she must have entered a congested intersection in the first place.

never rely on the courtesy of other drivers because it is rarely seen

“‘Unsigned’ (mobile) cameras

Mobile cameras are not signed, although they are not deliberately hidden. Mobile camera operators are not allowed to disguise the vehicle or their camera in any way.”

When you commit a crime where there is a victim, be it granny bashing, mugging, dangerous driving which kills someone, etc, the punishment is ridiculous – 90% get off scott free.

The system is very wrong.
