Speed Camera Woes

Juggy1985 · 13 Aug 2012 at 16:04

Hey all,

I was driving home yesterday from Gosport and whilst I was going along a 30mph road with speed cameras on it a black Astra doing around 35mph went by me right at the point of a speed camera and set it off, so we were side by side when it went off. There's no way I was doing more than 30mph because I knew the camera was there as my sat nav alerted me of its presence and I made sure I was doing no more than 30mph by my sat nav speedo. I'm worried as how would I even be able to defend myself? the car next to me set off the camera but how would they even know? I noticed it was an enterprise hire car aswell as it had the green "e" sticker on the boot.

If they over took you and set the camera off, the photos will show that, so not only should they get in trouble for speeding, but also overtaking unless there were two lanes. Plus the way cameras measure the speed it'll show you not speeding.

OP you will lose your license.
You will lose your job, your house, your wife, your family.

They take a harsh stance on speeders these days.

Which will lead to a alcohol and drug addiction. Next thing you know, your sleeping under a shop door shelter talking to you self constantly and have a imaginary friend called burt who keeps stealing your cider.

Lube. You will need lube. As you cannot take a tub into prison I would start lubing yourself now to hope it lasts for when you are sent down.

It takes two photos to determine speed, not just one photo of a "speeding" car. The distance a car has moved between those will show it's speed. They'll know which car was speeding.

I think that 'E' is 'eco' model, they judge by 2 photographs on the markings on the road, he will be further ahead than you, wouldn't worry.

I really like this Fred.

The lines on the ground determines your speed. At worst they'll have a photo of you doing the speed you think you were doing.

Best start learning how to make a shank from household items and practice carrying them in your rectum

how do people get through life not picking up information like how speed cameras work? people ignorance astounds me.

if you werent speeding, the white lines will show that on the photo so you will be in the clear.
