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....

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
