Like the drink drivers - "I only had one".

1231456 2011-09-16 00:14:00 I do the same when I see a boy racer going hard but never if I drive past the polizei and a radar/camera. prefect (6291)

1231459 2011-09-16 01:16:00 Speed cameras mounted or used on downhill sections of road are pure revenue gatherers - period!!

With 90% of all cars on the road being automatics, 90% of the motorists don't have a clue as to how to use their downshifts to aid engine braking :(

Hence in most cases, the vehicle will pick up speed going downhill.

1231461 2011-09-16 01:34:00 When they first had speed camera signs years ago along the Carterton straight they didn't include the two corners where virtually all accidents happened, only the straight so it was obvious that it was purely a revenue gathering exercise. mikebartnz (21)

It is far easier to inadvertently go over the speed limit on a straight stretch of road like that so I will stick by what I said.
What the hell does "it is possible to opt of the gathering by lifting foot off the pedal" mean.
