| 1113275 | 2010-06-25 03:51:00 | Would like to see the source, and 1kph over is not speeding, its well within the margin of error for speedometers. 1 K is stupid, a speedo can be out by 1-4 K easily. Take the speed indicators that are up on some posts, the ones that tell you how fast you are going. There are three I regularly go past, If I sit on 50K according my speedo they all read different, one says I'm do 45, another says 49 and another says 53 -- so which is correct as there alone is almost a 10K difference ?? |

| 1113276 | 2010-06-25 03:56:00 | Forget the speedo margin if you stick to the indicated speed you'll probably be doing less than the limit although I've been told that Ford Falcons indicate ~100 @100. Then this can only mean one thing, every time one goes in for a warrant the speedo must also be checked for accuracy, and if it is even not 100% accurate, then the car will need to have it fixed before it is considered road worthy. The problem is this, you get new wheels for your car, need to recalibrate speed. How many of us have bought cars with after market wheels? Chances are, your speedo is wrong. I doubt that the Police themselves have equipment with better than 1% accuracy. 1% margin? That's 1km. Bang you get a ticket. Pay up Bubba. |

| 1113277 | 2010-06-25 04:07:00 | Do you have a source for this? Yes! The source is from a Mobile Speed Camera deployment Log! Location State Highway 4! The belief that a 10kph tolerance is automatic is false! $30 fine for any speed up to 11kph over the limit . Response to all cars over read speed is also inaccurate especially japanese cars . You believe that you are asking for a ticket . Simple answer is dont speed! Then why did 1 in 10 motorists get caught out? How many of the 9 that were not caught actually go one to breach the speedlimit guidlines later in their journey? How many were just lucky that a slower vehicle got in thier way before that camera location? Does a speed camera truly indicate the intent of a motorist to flout the speed restriction laws? No because a speed camera is a snap shot from a location that may affect the speed for a short period of time ie hill, road slope . Does a vehicle caught by a speed camera go on to cause a road accident every time? No Does an idiot who openly defies the speedlimit by pursuing an aggressive speed beyond that point of before that point cause an accident? Quite possibly yes . Final point does travelling at or below the speedlimit guarentee you will not have a crash due to road conditions and enviromental factors? No |

I doubt that the Police themselves have equipment with better than 1% accuracy. I just doubt NZ police are ticketing for as low as 1kph over the limit, there has to be a accepted margin of error which I believe is around 5-7% for most countries and its common sense. If the OP stated ticketing 4kph+ over I could buy that, we have seen NZ police do that recently. |

The defense of my speedo calibration was out will depend if you want to try your luck with a judge . The discretion of if you get a ticket is up to the officer but that discretion is less with speeds exceeding 10kph . $30 for the paperwork to a police officer is simply not worth the hassle, $80, $120 yes . With a speed camera just the cost of postage and hey look who will contest a $30 fine? |

| 1113281 | 2010-06-25 04:24:00 | You could randomly take snapshots of a thousand people, tell them they were 2km over the limit charge them 30 - no one will question it. They'll just pay up. They'll all assume that it was true. Crap happens, aye bro? |

| 1113282 | 2010-06-25 04:24:00 | The speed limit is a limit and not a target. If people are all that concerned they can put the vehicle on a dyno and get a certificate. Then they can produce cert in court when they defend a speeding matter. Over the last two years I have sucessfully defended three charges of failing to wear a seat belt as each time there is a defence in the law. The prosecution has to prove the matter. |

| 1113283 | 2010-06-25 04:29:00 | @ coldfront. Maybe 1 in 10 were caught out because 1 in 10 were over the speed limit. |
