fingers crossed it was out of film !
(was doing about 33 in a 30.... camera was hidden behind a tree!)
You will be doing more than that. There is normally a 10% leway to take into account speedo inaccuracies.
Good luck though!
its supposed to be 10% one way, speedos arent supposed to underread.
get a GPS device and check how accurate your clocks are, you might be surprised.

What road was it on bud?

I find the GPS indicates that you are going 2-5 mph slower, 5mph slower towards 60-70mph.
Funnily enough....

Double flash is stereotypically supposed to mean the camera is able to nab you, usually single flash otherwise :P
I managed to drag a guy in a Volvo estate through one the other day; theres 2 separated by about 3 miles at Auchterarder on the A9 - this guy was hanging about behind me in an annoying way and kept clinging on if I sped up or slowed down. After he stoood on the brakes when we approached the 1st one (which he clearly didnt know was there), I was already well away on full throttle. As I was slowing up, with no brakes, for the second one he was steaming up behind and had no chance of slowing down :mrgreen:

as for the speedo thing.... its pretty good by the sat nav, only 1 or 2mph out at that kind of speed....

doh.
I used to work in a police central ticket office. They are unable to issue a conditional offer of fixed penalty (a ticket) unless you were exceeding the designated speed limit by > 10% +2
That means to get a ticket in a 30 zone you MUST be travelling at or in excess of 36mph, otherwise it is unenforceable.
It is also important to remember that the safety camera technicians CAN set a camera to be triggered at any speed, however when the film is viewed if the distance travelled in the time between the 2 flashes is less than required to fall into the category of 10% +2, you will not be issued with a ticket.
Hope this helps
thanks dude, I owe you one !
(just waiting on the postman now!)
think i got nabbed by a specs twice (different ways) just before u go into the wallasey tunnel going into liverpool :(
