Speed Camera's

I got snagged by one out in Phoenix a couple years ago. 81mph. I thought , before i saw the pics, no way they can tell its me....boy was i wrong clear as day..i paid the fine $160 i think and took the hit.

Sorry but not sure there is much you can do...maybe argue calibrations but not sure how well that will go over with these.

Yes, go to www.ticketclinic.com You pay a little more but it will not affect your driving record and/or insurance cost. It is not a big of a difference.

Hey Albert, I have heard from where I live that there is not much you can do if a camera catches you. Once the ticket is sent out that its a done deal. Sorry!!

yeah i don't know if i would trust any of those websites! I would just suck it up and pay for the ticket and be aware for next time! lol
I know if a police officer were to give you the ticket you could bring it to court and fight it and half the time the cop doesn't even show up but i don't know if you can do that with a camera ticket.
That's gonna be an expensive one! lol

You gotta know someone, pal! And you have to let that someone know before the end of the "ticket day". You can always try your luck and go to court. Some judges will let you off just for showing up (especially if the cop doesn't). Good luck!

I'll campaigne for a speed limit change instead then lol, 100's ok init?

I think so...

Here in the states you can ask for proof that the radar guns have been calibrated and if the person who installed them was trained on the proper angle.

That may not work but I have heard of success in a few states AL, NC, SC and FL

The main reason that works in these states is because they all have extremely aggressive radar policies. It's amazing what officers have to do to get certified to use them. In fact, in NC, the radar isn't even admissable, it's just there to back up the officers own estimation. In order to get certified, you have to be able to estimate speed on several cars as they both approach and leave the area. It's crazy.

That is funny about NC especially since they have a fine for everything it seems like. You would think that they protect themselves and their ability to collect money from the tax payers. IE the red light cameras. Great way for liberals to collect money. I received 2 tickets while I was in NC and both times I paid a lawyer $325 to receive a reduced sentence of faulty equipment which is not a traffic violation. However you cannot represent yourself and do this only a lawyer can be successful. I was going to contest the second on my own and everyone told me I did not stand a chance.

your scaring me, one day i was doing 120 kmh, a little more then 70mph, because of my speed i had a terrible accident, tonneaued over 5 times and the only thing that saved me was that i tonneaued over a field, the car was unreconizable, and was the luckiest person on earth to come out of it with a couple stitches and a dislocated elbow witch streched my ligament to a useless state if not cut up, it took me 3 months of physio therapy to be able to use my arm again, although now i can bend it in wierd ways that would freak you out, and i was lucky, millions of people end up DEAD every year, or worst, i could have killed someone else, a kid...

something else you should know, do you realize how much it cost to the public when there is a crash, in social services ? your fine will only pay a fraction of what it would cost if you would have caused an accident.

seriously, were you that much of in a rush ? was it really worth it to risk to much ?

sorry to be so gloomy,
sometimes things really upset me and i say what i mean.
drive safe

Ok, This issue is one of my pet peaves. Every time I get behind the wheel in my quiet rural area, I see 'almost' accidents, and 98% of them are due to speed. I saw a guy run a light yesterday, and I thought, what if I'd been in front of him rather than behind him? It's so stupid.

A car can be a weapon. Look at the mortality rates and tell me I'm wrong.

You know, if the human race had more of WE mentality rather than a ME mentality, the world would be a safer place.

And another thing (my soapbox is starting to cave in) Traffic infractions are in place for a reason. It is a punishment for breaking a law. This is simple. So take your medicine, and try learning something from it, not weasling out of it.
