Setting off cameras on the other side

[Newbiker0507]

I set one of these off the other day, and I thought "well it can't do anything as my number plate's on the back"...

Then the next day, I was travelling on the same road and just prior to the camera I set off the day before, on my side of the road, I was flashed twice, even though I was doing WELL under the speed limit.

Is that the system catching up with me for the day before's mistake, or just sheer coincidence?

The camera was out for revenge. It told all it's speed camera mates and they'll all be looking out for you.

Seriously though, I've been flashed before in the car doing well under the limit. Not sure if it's just a random flash to check it's still working, or something had randomly triggered it (no other cars about at the time). Never heard anything more about it anyway.

I wouldn't worry as they use the lines on the road to judge your speed and will be able to tell you were under the limit.

I had this in my car a month ago, must have been someone on the other side of the road going too quickly and triggering it, scariest 2 weeks of my life, nothing came through though.

Can we be fined for going through a camera that was designed for the other side of the road and setting it off or are we safe? (no number plate obviously but you hear of people getting caught fairly often by clothing/helmets/face(

Theoretically speaking, wouldn't the speed be in minus due to the camera working backwards, so 60mph to you would be -60 to the camera?

Don't think so, as the camera measures the distance travelled within a set period (ie the 2 flashes), then uses that mathematics favourite of Speed = Distance / Time to calculate the speed.

^ quite a few times
even seen storys of them sending out coppers to wait in laybys etc after you keep speeding that way i.e. on the commute one day he could be sat there in the layby waiting to see you go past too fast and bust you.

Isnt it one ov those bike recodnition cameras!?! - yeah thats it you'll be getting done for speeding going the other way the day before..

Only kidding. I am pretty sure your ok

[FASTERTHANSID]

Be careful because the police now have recognition teams that solely investigate cases where people set of cameras on purpose and has already resulted in prosecutions.

Setting off the odd camera won't get you into trouble, however, if you're idiotic enough to think that you can do it everyday than you deserve to get caught...
