I was on my way home from work today, and there was a speed camera and i got flashed. deffinatly my fault was doing 60ish in a 60 zone but thats not the point.
i didnt think speedcameras on park vehicles could flash you if there were on the oppisite side of traffic, i might be wrong just never thought they could? foe example say the camera is facing North and your travaling South can they flash you? cheers brad` |

Yep unfortunately for you. Even if there was another car there, it can distinguish which direction you are headed. So... bugger

Normally I can go through cameras with my speedo on about 65 (GPS on 61-62) and not have a problem.

well when i go threw a speed cheeck if im siitting on exactly 100 on my speedo it registers im only doing like 93 - 95. and i always thought they took 2 off speed camers as an allegid speed. so i figure 70 - 2 = 68 minus my speedo reading should be clear
but guess not :S |
