Unhappy Smile for the camera



Bugger! It is alleged that I was doing 69kmh in a 60 zone.
I am the red ute in the left lane. How can this be verified that it is actuallly me that triggered off the camera?
cheers

i didnt read thread.. too lazy, and didnt wanna read the same line [its just revenue raising] 234856239485623498 times..
dont worry, i agree.

i just wish Victoria had big sings warning of speed cameras ahead like ACT do, instead of "Speed Cameras used in this state blah blah blah"

that would atleast make driving less stressful.

My god!!...they don't take any &%#@ over in the UK hey, one of the cameras (Gatsos) was taken out 4 times!!

I guess it's easy to destroy them when there's no private operator sitting in their car nearby picking their nose...

I don't think they can verify that one because there's 2 cars in the picture, which one was doing 69km/h??...they can't prove either way...don't pay it.

You will find online somewhere how they work and how the car speeding is tracked, and it is quite a detailed guide, my vote says just pay the fine ( if you were speeding ) not worth the drma and i don't see you having a snow balls in getting off.

we frequently have the cars on the side of the road near my place.... i back off when i see any car/van/ute on the side of the road. they have even used old little shitters here too..

also the marked cars do get around here too...
but my version of a joke is i sit about 15ks under and i usally have a nice big line behind me. and after that i flash cars that dont look new.... the undercovers get around here too.

Hahaha this reminds me of a workmate's uncle who after receiving a fine for being over the limit in his taxi, in anger he took off his rear number plate and drove past the same camera several times well over the limit hahahaha... he forgot that his taxi still had its own number on the back window.... more fines and loss of license hahahaha
