Naturally folk will learn the location(s) of the cameras, drive slower inside the capture zone...then belt along outside it to maintain the average they want...
Can really see it making a contribution to 'Safety' Just not sure which way...:angel:

Haven't heard of any for a while, but a private courier we hired in a car a couple of years ago got busted 3 weeks in a row.
Unfortuneatly I can't remember which cam positions got him,, but he wasn't happy.
They were, then shut off for nearly 2 years as there were bugs in the software. They are back on again and bringing home the cash.Quote:

Even better idea... do the drive in front of another camera-car... :twisted:
Remember the detectives in Bunbury that put Ku Klux Clan hats on and went whizzing thru a speed camera deliberately in their unmarked police car????Quote:

From memory, they were around120km/h in a 60 zone, and there was a message across the number plate. Think there's more to the story somewhere...
- We are still allowed to fantasize... Like that possibly urban myth of many years ago.
Some aircraft techs realized that (then) speed radars operated in the same band as the weather radars of commercial aircraft, so they set up a vehicle with one installed...cruised around and fried the front end of every radar trap they came across...
