Speed Camera Question
« on: 18 April 2014, 20:31:01 »
Can they catch you if you are moving away from them?

It was a mobile one in the back of a van.

It was set up facing the north bound lane of a 4 lane single carrigeway road, I was heading south and I might have been slightly over the limit.  :( :-[

Mobile cameras have to have the lens pointing at the traffic approaching it to calibrate speed

If a mobile camera is using laser, be warned, they can get you in both directions
