Bit of a rant here really , Her first go in the acoord type R , she was driving taking her sister home and we drove past a speed camera, the wife is VERY careful with speed and went past a camera in a 30mph zone doing 30-30.5mph and she got flashed , I thought there was a small cusion on the settings on these things :confused:

Rant over

Regards Skywalker

I've had cameras flash loads of times if I brake at the last minute for them, but nothing ever comes in the post. Was this what happened?

Steady speed , no breaking involved as we both drive past there at least 3 times a week

Dont forget that because of the fact the needle isn't flush with the dial face, if you glance at the speedo sideways, ie from the passenger seat, it'll show a different, normally lower speed, than if you look at it straight on from the drivers seat.

Well at 30mph the needle points at the passenger and the dash is very open
