1107937 2010-06-20 06:20:00 and to top it all off....whats the odds of being caught ??? extremely little. even with the few speed camera cars around the odds are extremely low.

Interesting comment because on the same day as as speed camera photo came for a car we had authority to be in possesion of! I say possesion because of it also was in the care of a mechanic as well. I have spoken to 5 people who travelled the same piece of road and were given tickets ranging from 54 to 61kph! Of them it seems they were issued a ticket for the trip in and then out of town, we were the lucky with just one ticket. How many others were ticketed that morning?
Whats interesting is one of those people I happen to have driven their Van and I know the speedometer is out by 10kph fast! Meaning that to get a ticket would mean them drivng at 64-71kph which would have been noticed by them for sure.
Gets better because I requested accident statistics for that piece of road and what a surprise no accidents recorded in the last 10 years. Accident Blackspot or revenue site? or a piece of technology not calibrated as well?

Would have been a nice little earner and did it stop an accident and save a life? Nope because it took 2-3 weeks for people to find out.
