12 years ago when i first come to the country i was enyouing a ride on a warm july evening on my motorbike..
suddently i see 2 flashes hitting my mirror and it reminded me what my mate said '' you get causht prety easy in here''
So i thought the police will follow me right as soon as the camera snapped me..and i went flying..speeding like mad, turn left turn right.... for quite a while till i stopped.
No police on sight;) but it took me 4 hours to find my way home to highbury islington as i didnt know the area at all!
great stuff!
No, not great stuff at all, more a total non-understanding of why speed cameras actually are deployed, in more ways than one
I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

I didn't realise that, do the camera flashes occur at the same time lapse for both functions then??I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

Unlikely. For it to be used for speeding vehicles the camera would need to have the graduated markings on the road to provide irrefutable proof of speeding by showing the distance travelled on the markings between each photo.The man without a signature.0 -
The new red light cameras near us have only 3 "Graduations", surely thats not enough for speeding offences/ so what are they for?0

I was caught going through a red light not long after I passed my test (yeah I know, but it wouldn't happen now) and on the letter I received was the speed at which I was travelling. It was under the speed limit of 30mph (maybe that's why I got caught*) so I have no idea if they could potentially get you on two offences - not that the OP committed an offence.
