I drive for 10 hrs a day and always use the tom tom on my phone to see if the speedo is out, always has been reliable for me, just gotta keep it at a certain speed for a couple of k's and make sure you have good sattelite reception.

That's where there are proper speedo calibration services out there - They don't use a GPS :)

If it wont hold in court (im not aware of a precedent here in Vic), then i don't class it as reliable.

There was one on the news (pretty sure it was in vic) he went to court with the data from the gps and got off a speeding fine, cant find the story atm.

Quick questions guys (sorry to briefly hijack).

Can you legally be done for speeding if the speed camera is on the opposite side of the road?

I have a ticket and I remember where, when and the blue Falcon who took the pic.

I was headed east (single lane each way) and the camera car was facing west on the right side of the road. I always thought that they had to be on the same side of the road, facing the direction of the nearest lane to take a valid picture (or the back of the speeding vehicle).

I have requested a picture, but was curious if anyone knows about this method.

As it stands, I don't think I was speeding since the camera was ~40m from a roundabout which I had just turned onto and was going away with the wife for the long weekend (so plenty of traffic around).

my mum fought a speeding ticket without even going to court, just chuck on the crazy lady act in the cop station.

he was parked on the nature strip, illegal for everyone else in certain councils.

bam! ticket was torn up by some high rank cop there that day

That must have been a while ago, they changed the law many years ago so its not illegal for camera cars to park pretty much any where they like.

Whether you were speeding or not is a different matter, but cameras can certainly snap you from the other side of the road. The way these cameras work is by calculating negative speed...so instead of detecting you at 63 in a 50 zone they detect you at -63 in a -50 zone. About the only time they don't work like this is when the road has more than 4 lanes (combined directions) or there is a decent median strip dividing both sides of the road.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
