i was always under the impression that the camera flashed twice so that it shows the motion of the vehicle. it will be pretty clear on who set it off and whos going faster in the pictures.

If you really think you stopped, fight it. I think most cop cars have cameras in them, maybe they can get something from there...

Last week on the motorway, a lorry coming the other way crashed through the central reservation and took out 2 cars 100m in front of me.  3 people died.  If it had happened 5 seconds later it would have been me.  I guess it was not my day to die.

The cameras around my city are at intersections that are well known for accidents, red light runners & speeding.  I don't care if the cameras are there.  I'm smart enough to read the Photo Enforced signs posted & I also obey all traffic laws.  I've been driving for 17 years, NO tickets for anything.  Sure, several accidents, NO points on my license as well.  My insurance company gives me a discount for this too & it's well worth it.  Anyways, I think the cameras are a great idea & very helpful.

Hey dude - Sorry to hear about the ticket.  I got a couple things for ya:\n\n1.) You said you think you weren't doing more than 85.  So you know, most speedometers in vehicles are off between 5-7MPH.  Unless you have a calibrated speedometer (like cop cars) your indicated speed is probably not what you are actually doing.  Be careful.\n\n2.)  I have never heard of them changing this type of violation to a non-moving violation.  I think the route you should attempt to take is to go to court and respectfully and in a non-argumentative manner, request the fine/speed be reduced due to whatever circumstances you feel are appropriate.  A lower speed will possibly reduce the points.\n\nThe key is be humble and respectful.  The worst thing that can happen is the court will say no.  Doesn't hurt to ask though.\n\nGood luck.

Yes it is - (in the UK that is - hope you are in the UK?).  You can request proof that appropriate signs were in place as stipulated in the Road Traffic Act.  You may find that sending this letter may get on their wick to the point that they will drop the speeding claim - obviously they have to have photographic evidence of the offence also!  As per the RTA they also have to provide the items requested in the letter.  I managed to get off a speeding fine with it.  \n\n\nIn order that I may honestly complete the required information requested on the reverse of the form, I require the photographic evidence of the alleged offence in order that I may ascertain who was driving.\n\nI will also require:-\n\n•The name of the manufacturer, including make and model and serial number of the radar or laser gun used.\n\n•Copies of the manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule for the above device.\n\n•Copies of the manufacturer’s literature as it relates to the correct use, including but not limited to, mounting, aiming, weather and traffic limitations for the device used.\n\n•A copy of the past six months maintenance records, including but not limited to calibration specifications.\n\n•Photographic evidence that the legally required notifications of speed camera use were displayed at the site being used for speeding offence detection, or a copy of the relevant legislation that states that this in not necessary.\nPlease note that attempted delivery to the address listed on your letter, as detailed above, will be considered as valid service of this document.\n\nI look forward to your prompt response.\n\n\nGood luck with it!!  I don't know about anyone else - but I have no problem with fixed speed cameras - just the nasty sneaky mobile ones - normally hidden away in an area that has no risk to pedestrians, but significant possibility for speeding without endangerment to any other road users.  GRRR nasty money making machines!!

Of course.  Keep in mind, the policeman pulling you over makes it a moving violation, points on insurance and all that.\n\nThe camera ticket merely civil.  They can fine the owner of the car, but they cannot establish who was driving it.\n\nYou should not receive two tickets, the police ticket supersedes the camera one.  If you get both, you should be able to get out of the camera one.

If it happens again, here's what you do.  Take the number plates off the offending car, put them on yours.  Drive around passing as many speed and red-light cameras as you can for an hour, then return the plates.\n\nGo to sleep with a smile on your face.

Suppose it was not a photo system but instead a cop standing there. If the local rule is no tolerance for speeding you would have gotten the same ticket for 41 in a 40 zone. So the camera has nothing to do with it. \n\nBesides even if the camera observed you going over the limit there is still a review by a human who will see the speed number on the image.\n\nWhatever the local rule is that is taken into account in the tickets (and I am sure 1 mph over is not considered violating a speed limit).

Count it as an accident the first time.  Confront it if it happens again.

No biggie. I've personally had two cars in the air. \n\nIt just wasn't by choice...

Might want to get your spedometor checked before calling him a liar, maybe he was wrong but that doesn't mean he's crooked....maybe his radar caught another car but he thought it was yours.  Why assume he's crooked because he's wrong?  Why assume he's wrong when there is a chance (bad spedometer) he's not?

First, you should not have waited two years.  If it's just now going to court, ask the court to let the officer show the tape.  If he was running an emergency call, his on-board camera, if equipped with one, should have caught everything on film.  If the police car was responding to a call and did not have the emergency equipment activated, then that car is treated the same as any other motorist who violated the law by running the red light.  Even if the lights and siren were on, he/she is supposed to yield and wait for all traffic to come to a halt before proceeding.

Before overtaking the second person you were third. After overtaking, you are now second.\n\nYou're also very, very tired.  :)
