| 1108050 | 2010-06-09 05:06:00 | It is also true to say that radar ( actually microwave ) can give false readings. They can read speeds of vehicles going in the other direction and just once I picked up a low flying aircraft going about the business of top dressing. There was no car in sight so it had to be the plane. Thank you thats the kind information I was looking for. :clap |

One of the NZ radar detector sales sites refers to speed camera radar now being low power narrow beam which would make it less likely to false trigger from distant objects. Angled across the road rather than down the road the camera can monitor both directions. The photo should indicate which direction triggered the camera. |

Well its worth challenging on the grounds of possible interferance from the other vehicle. Just in case the "quality control people" missed it when they sorted the images. I do hope Nomad never gets called for Jury service :badpc: |

| 1108054 | 2010-06-09 11:56:00 | But then where are they gonna get their money from?? If nobody speeds? it has to come from somewhere Funding comes from the taxpayer including those who don't get fines. |

| 1108056 | 2010-06-10 01:47:00 | IMO, how should one deter speeding if we did not use fines? Go to jail or community service or some other thing? 3 strikes and you lose the license for a year or something? Or just say no worries carry on ..... sorry to bother you, you have an importance to speed. That aside if you use fines, then it is a debate if it is money gathering. The same old, you might be less likely to speed if you see a police car, you might not speed in your driving test so why do it? |
