That's why you should ALWAYS leave your plates dirty, and unrecognizable. :shocked:
36 in a 25, was only 50 bucks? :dontknow:

 

[Chupaca]

Shame on you....

:roflblack: happens....but now you know. Before the techy advancements it was called ghost writting and you could beat them but no more. Your lucky they didn't have the forward one with your mug in the viewfinder...:roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

I wonder how fast you'd have to be going, to out-drive the camera?
100 mph?
130 mph?
:shocked:

So it looks as if you just need to get yourself a jet engine, and bolt it into the trunk of your car! :thumbup:
That's not so bad; right?

In California...... the land of "lets control everything weather you like it or not"
the traffic camers abound... however, the agency's that have installed them are now removing them or turning them off
or in most cases not sending out tickets because according to the news papers and TV they have been being SUED
so much it is costing them money and not making money, they tried to tell people they were for safety but as it turns out
they were put up to generate $$$$, only problem it seems a person has the right to confront their accuser in court...
It is hard to do that since it is not a police officer who saw you and they are operated by a private company in some other
state and it is them who send out the tickets and they split the money with the agency or city.
If you get a ticket... TAKE IT TO COURT
I did.

They got rid of the few traffic cameras they had in Anchorage.

I am not a speeder, but inattention has caused me to not lower the speed to perfection a couple times. No tickets yet though. :thumbup:

 

[bruiser]

So I assume that that speed limit is all day? Here they have times listed ie; 7:30 to 8:45 and 2:30 to 3:45 or something like that.

got 1 new one near my store but i didn't get zapped......yet

 

[bscrive]

They try and say that they are for safety, but they are only there to generate revenue. They don't stop people from speeding.

...And here's to hoping that you don't! :cheers: :thumbup:

Maybe I'm missing something here but I would think doing over the posted speed in a "School" zone one would expect whatever penalty was issued ???

I don't think that John was complaining about the fact that he got caught; he was just letting us know that he discovered an efficient way to find the cameras... :shocked:

My Zumo 660 GPS will warn me if I am approaching a red light or speed camera. There are no speed cameras in my area but there are red light ones and gives lots of warning.

I will have to check that out on my 660. I didn't know they did that. Is there anything you have to activate to get that feature?

You have to get a POI file that has all the camera locations in it. Then load it onto the Garmin with the warning message. I get the file from POI Factory and costs $20 a year and it is updated every couple weeks. There are other web sites that offer similar services with varying prices.

We don't have speed cameras around here, but we have lots of red light cameras. I keep from getting tickets simply by stopping for red lights. And considering I consider running red lights one of the most dangerous, stupid things one can do, I have no problems with them.
