Am wondering how does the camera works? was travelling 55km/h on a 60km/h zone and this smart @ss went pass me really fast and the camera on the left flashed. So, my car will definitely be in the photo. Will i get a fine for that?

What if a motor Bike is speeding right beside you and the camera flashes?

Guys, any ideas?

happened to me once.......i was in the right lane and some-guy was in the left lane on the 3-lane freeway. Some-guy sets off the camera and i was in the 'shadow' of his flash. 1 year on....no ticket in the mail.

i think you can dispute if you do get a fine if you were doing under the limit......i guess the camera's are still not 'smart' enuff to distinguish which speeding vehicle in which lane sets off the camera.....

that's why i always stay in the right lane making sure there is some 'scapegoat' car in the left lane...:)

well, funny though. I sent an email to the police and the replied sounded like this

thank you for your email dated 1 August 2003.

In answer to your questions, if your vehicle is not exceeding the posted

speed limit the vehicle can not be recorded by a speed camera.

The speed camera can ID which vehicle in a photo has exceeded the speed

limit.

I hope this information helps

Yours sincerely

yes its true i've been told by numerous amounts of people who know the system ... if u ever get a speeding fine the first thing is ask for the photo ... lots of times the backlog is just too much and they just throw away a whole bunch ... if theres another car in the photo dispute it ... despite what the coppers say the camera really can't differentiate ... and u will most likely get it thrown away ...

I was in a two car photo once .I knew there would be two cars in the pic so asked to see the photo. As my car was in the middle of the shot they said i was the speeder (which was true).

So I paid up. Funny thing is when they showed me the pic it only had my car in it an I had to ask him to pan it out to see everything the sneaky bastard

Cheers

The current speed camera's in use in WA use simple camera/film technology and cannot differentiate the speeding vehicle. If you sit beside another car they'll have a hard time proving it was you that was exceeding the limit.

There was some talk about using digital camera-powered speed camera's that are intelligent to pick out the speeding motorist by way of a red dot on the photo. This is technically possible and was apparently planned for rollout a while back. Haven't heard anything since then....

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
