So will you get a fine if this happens?

Cos ive heard mixed stories... My dad recently got booked for doing 4km/h over and the camera flashed to his eyes, he paid the fine and stuff when he got it but a lot of people say he should of contested it cos its illegal (Police didnt give me an exact answer when asked, and solicitors just wanted money)...

I know intersection fixed cameras won't flash you when you are facing them, that is probably where you could contest it in the unlikely event you do get snapped by one going towards it. But mobile speed cameras certainly will. I mean, they would flash in towards-the-camera faces all the time when catching people speeding away from the camera.

was on a supra cruise, then at the hoddle/victoria st intersection, there's this right turn arrow that is variable, in the afternoon, it lets about 8 to 10 cars pass, but that night it only let 4 cars, out of habit, i went past, not realising the light had turned, but another car next to me went forward to, we both got flashed, but its been 3 or so months and still no letter, i'm guessing it works the same for redlight cameras too?

May work the same for red light but seeing they go off road sensors rather than motion, it might be easier for the camera to tell what lane the violating car was in. You might have gotten lucky cause 3 months is a long time to go without receiving a fine, although not completely ruled out.

Yeah i know that they flash towards cars, but the question is, is it legal? Cos there are some dodgy setups that these mobile speed cameras do, but cos its only 4-10km/s over, 1point and a 180odd fine people dont contest it for being illegally setup up (Too much trouble on taking it too court)...

But I guess ive been watching too much ACA and hearing too many rumors... :D

I think some of them need to be realigned, the one I got snapped by on my L's got me right in the eyes...I could barely see the road. It's a common problem with that intersection though, one person get's snapped everyone around it gets blinded.

I always thought that if I incurred the points on my L's it would have come off my L's, I asked the women at VicRoads when I went for my P's and she said it wasn't a problem and I'd have all my points for my P's, then they send me a letter after having my P's for like 4 months saying that I only have 2 points til December, when I get another 5

Red light cameras go off the sensors so they can tell which lane caused the flash. If the red light camera is suspected to have made a mistake, anyone on that film will not be fined, or at least that's what Tenix advises :)

noo you cant get flashed if you on the otherside of the road by a mobile speed camera..

it only gets the one side of the road (e 2lanes 3 lanes not the whole 3 lanes on each side.. cant detect that far

FYI, you can accrue 12points in any 3year period, but only 5 in any 12 month period(p's).- 4 per year for 3 years would be under 5 in 12, but would have you in shit for the 12point/3year limit every driver has :D

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
