Damn Speed Cameras. (M8)

[Amps]

I was driving along the M8 today coming up to the well signposted speed cameras which have been there for the last 3 or 4 weeks. So i knew they where there. 40 Mph zone doing 35-36 ( Speedo Reading) I am the only car in the lines and then flash flash.

So now i am left being paranoid for the next 14 days .. Speed cameras really **** me off.

No swearing. Read the FAQs

So its not that unusual for them to randomly discharge or wrongly flash?

I presume the speed calculations are double checked using the lines?

Don't worry about it too much, remember the time & date, & your speed & just contest any ticket that arrives.

This has happened to me a few times in my artic, especially pulling 45ft trailers for some weird reason....

They indeed check the lines against your movement and your in the clear, as long as you were not speeding.

Strangely, some Police forces don't regard a tachograph (from an HGV) as a proof of speed for speed camera offences!

Is that a lot of hassle? does it go to court if you contest it ?
