Gantry cam flash

So when I get a speeding fine I can refute it with my own dashcam footage? Sounds likely.
I mean, the video is literally of him sitting behind a 70 tonne lorry at crawling pace. It also shows relative speed to some fixed objects (ya know, the whole d=s*t equation). So I don't think it is as unlikely as you felt the need to call someone out on in these circumstances at least :confused:

44t maximum doubtful even close to that as it looks like a double deck trailer to me which are designed for bulk not weight, certainly not a chance of being any where near 70t. ;)

I sense sarcasm in your post, but yes, it is possible albeit in limited circumstances. There have been cases where the defence has successfully argued that the GPS (which has accuracy limitations) and a counting of the makings on the road over a specified time period has introduced enough doubt that the defendant was judged not-guilty. It tends to be ones that are very close to the limit though, not all forces abide by the 10%+2 guideline and where you're arguing over only a few MPH, dashcam footage can make the difference.

I can imagine in a few circumstances sure but it hardly seems worth the effort and risk of it going the other way in court unless on the verge of losing a licence.

I've seen some results from this company before to prosecute driver's from dashcam/helmet cam footage: https://www.roadsafetysupport.co.uk/forensic-video-analysis

Part 2 of your first sentence answers part 1. I don't think anyone is arguing anything otherwise :confused:
