New Legislation M5 & M7 Re Speeding Fines
M5 and the M7 are now equipped with Point to Point Speed Devices. On
entering the M7 the etag beeps and a camera takes a photo
of
your car recording the exact time. On exiting the etag system beeps
again another camera at that point takes a photo of the car and the
time. Then the computer calculates the time it has taken you to travel
between the two points and calculates your speed. If you completed the
clocked journey too fast you are issued with a speeding ticket.
At the present the speed limit is 100K.P.H. with a tolerance of
102 maximum. Over that and you are issued with a fine automatically.
for a week and get a weeks' tickets BOTH WAYS. Of course your license
will also be recalled for 3 months. Now with the new legislation,
fighting a Speed Camera fine is almost impossible You must prove the
device is faulty and if you are not a technician working on them, you
have no chance of beating the fine.
The Pacific Highway has a set and these are recognized by large steel
frames over the lanes with a speed camera and some distance up
the road is another large metal frame with a speed camera.
These new point to point systems are being put onto any expressway and
highway where vehicles are not able to exit between those points.
NOTE: School zone cameras are not speed tolerant. Anything over, even 41, is a fine.
