| 1437894 | 2017-08-02 10:02:00 | My wife received a traffic ticket for speeding at 62 KM along a 50 KM zone. The letter said that she was photographed along that stretch of road. The letter also said that we could request a photograph but nothing was mentioned about any charges for getting one. Can we assume that it's FREE? Anyone here who has previous experience in this? :) Cheers |

Anyone here who has previous experience in this? :) Cheers The service is free, although that may have changed since last time I asked for a photo, about 18 months ago. At the same time ask for a report on when the camera unit was last calibrated. That did get me off one because the elderly Datsun immediately after me was clocked at an impossible 170kph on a 300m stretch of 50 kph road near Kawakawa Bay, Auckland. Good luck. |

| 1437897 | 2017-08-02 20:25:00 | Good luck but odds are good it's accurate. I've been caught 3 times on boundary road in Hamilton doing 61 in a 50, on a straight section of road just flowing with the traffic. Must have been a lot of tickets those days. Anyway say what you like about cameras and revenue gathering, they do seem to slow down the traffic. Boundary road traffic now flows much closer to 50kph and I haven't had a ticket in years. Of course they also stopped hiding the camera and started parking it on the road in plain sight, I'm sure there was some excuse for that but they definitely used to hide it between a power building and the trees in the park. |

| 1437900 | 2017-08-10 02:38:00 | She was not sure but most likely she was speeding, if you consider 62 km as speeding. :D How many drivers observing strictly the 50 km speed limit? |

Doesn't matter what a person considers speeding as the speed limit if 50 means just that. The ones that complain are ones doing 62km and get nabbed ;) |

The ones that complain are ones doing 62km and get nabbed ;) Have to agree with that. A couple of years ago I got pinged for doing 56 km/hr in Dargaville. It was the most exciting thing to happen there in years. |
