| 1108058 | 2010-06-10 01:54:00 | I noticed an automatic assumption it was me that was driving and me that was speeding. Wrong on both counts and the car was not registered to me but was in may care due to the owner selling it. I could take the blame bit why should I? Had enough doubt on the reliabilty before seeing the photo. No speed strips on the road another reason to doubt? Second vehicle in photo heading opposite direction not very clear on first inspection of photo? Can you clarify? I noticed an automatic assumption it was me that was driving and me that was speeding. Wrong on both counts but was in may care due to the owner selling it. |

| 1108060 | 2010-06-10 04:28:00 | Cos it is on a downhill road and as most modern cars are automatics they naturally speed up going down hill. What?? Most are not actually. Some are, some are not. I now have an auto and I drive past a certain camera place regularly. It's on a hill, can't say I ever noticed myself speeding accidentally because I forgot to apply the brakes. Twit. |

| 1108061 | 2010-06-10 05:40:00 | In the good old manual shift gear box cars, you could rely on engine braking when going down hill by selecting a lower gear. Most drivers today in automatics do not chnage down to a lower gear. You can tell this by watching the continual red brake lights appearing when following an automatic. :) |

| 1108062 | 2010-06-10 06:00:00 | lol i don't find myself forgetting to use the brakes. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1108063 | 2010-06-10 06:50:00 | Can you clarify? Yes but would you still want even more clarification? Is it relevant? No Photo shows two cars in the image, not that clear on first glance that a second car exists. So on that basis how do you know the reading is accurate? Thats all that is important on the facts once thats cleared up some one can pay the bill if there is any. |

| 1108064 | 2010-06-10 06:55:00 | I challenge anyone to drive with a hidden GPS and not have that GPS show a time when they have accidentally gone over the speed limit for the briefest of time. It better to ask someone to plant the GPS on you when your not aware of it. The results will surprise even the doubters. | coldfront (15814) | ||

The same ethnics do not maintain a steady speed, regardless of road condition the accelerator is only ever up or down, and the braking foot appears to beat out it's own rhythm in sympathy, even if not in phase. :angry |

| 1108066 | 2010-06-10 07:17:00 | What the hell has ethnicity got to do with it? The revenue hunters knew what they were doing when they placed the pole mounted speed cameras on down hill roads. The revenue take is are much higher that for those on flat roads - period!! |
