| 1108028 | 2010-06-08 05:16:00 | Is there a standard of information that a speed camera photo must show or in this case not show? Speed camera photo is showing a second darker vehicle behind the taget car mostly obscurred by that target car. Would that second car influenced the accuracy of the radar on the camera? |

| 1108030 | 2010-06-08 05:48:00 | If the "target" car (yours, I presume) is in front of the "second darker vehicle", I suspect that "target" car the is the one that triggered the camera. However I understood that the normal OP was to ignore any infringements that could potentially cause confusion and be argued in court (such as a closely following vehicle snapped at the same time). Maybe the technology has improved so they are more sure of themselves? |

Your right it is worth taking it to court if there is sufficant doubt that the evidence is not quite as it seems. But then if the doubt is there then the Police wont bother to let it go to court. Worth the try before it gets to that stage thats why you have 56 days to pay ;) I asked because I have some doubts for the person concerned I Figured that maybe someone out their may have experiance of this to know. So worth asking. Innocent until proven guilty as they say. |

It might pay to pay the fine PDQ and keep a low profile at the moment while the Go Slow team is in full flight and snorting fire. (They will be going mad and clamouring for a nation - wide 60 KMH limit shortly.) Having announced a 4K tolerance, and got a 1 fatality weekend, it is bound to trigger a frenzy in Wellington cubicles. I suppose they will also claim that the tightened limits were also responsible for the amazing lack of congestion on the roads. There has certainly been no mention from the statistical juggling department of the overwhelming numbers of people who stayed home due to the weather debacle. |

In Queensland the State Government has announced as part of its Budget fiscal plan that the number of speed cameras are to be doubled. This move has been attacked by the Police as an example of a money hungry government chasing revenue at the expense of important law and order priorities. |

But the public will be sold a lie by those who make money from it. |

| 1108037 | 2010-06-08 21:46:00 | If you can prove, or provide evidence that it was in fact the other car, then you may very well get off. Other wise its your word against their camera shot. You can defend yourself - I know, had it happen to me many years ago - I managed to provide enough evidence it wasn't me that was speeding, as there was another explanation, and they dumped the charge. They had the speed strips on the road at the time. |
