Lets say it's dark... And theres a Speedcamera on the side of a road (You know how police leave vehicles with cameras on the front on fwy sides overnight) Do you think if you are doing 200km/h + Past it. That it would blur your Numberplate thus you being immune to a fine??? Something I been thinking. Not like I'm stupid enough to do that. Cheers MaT
Could be a possibility.. but there'd be other ways to fkkk you up.. Dont know how, but at times the Police arne't stupid!
With older style shutter camera's speed above 170km/h i think make it invisible.. But apparently on newer camera's they'll always getcha.. And I thought if police wanted to give a ticket they had to pull you over and give it to you. As in, police don't operate like mobile speed camera's here in Vic..
Those aren't cops though. They're operated by Tenix, a private company.. Tenix Camera Cars.. Cops have a very different modus operandi..
top gear, 400something plus i think. at "normal speeding" the cameras picked up even super cars easy.
On new cameras you'd still get motion blur if the car was panning across the camera view, but driving away from the camera (as you usually would be), I doubt you'd get much motion blur at all.
New cameras will get you at 600km/h after that they can't, older flash cames, push over 418km/h and you will get away with it, otherwise forget it
bit off topic there was a speed camera on south rd a good samaritin, had got a big peice of wood and written speed camera ahead using paint, 100 metres later was a speed camera. i laughed when i seen this sign.
i remember a story on the goldcoast were some guy took a number plate off a speed camera car and constantly drove past way above the posted limit. Little did he know there was a copper in it and on his third past there was a bike cop and patrol car waiting up the road. Needless to say that person doesnt drive anymore but it got a giggle outta me.
apparently there is a device being tested in the USA, and when sitting in your car switched on makes you immune to hand held radars, as it confuses the signal waves being casted by the radar in order to see your speed. so just say your going past at 60km/h im may say like 5000km/h, i don't beleive it will work, but worth a shot. lol
there's already a few cloaking devices available in oz. One is an all in one unit- laser/ lidar cloak, radar cloak, and a detector for both. nice looking unit too....
It's simple. Don't speed. They have these cameras out for a reason, and if some complete wanker ****wit is going that fast endangering everyone on the road they deserve to get done, and they will get done because they'd need to be going a lot faster than 200 anyway.
Many years ago a mate of mine was going down the hume hwy (vic) at about 180km/h in his worked 350 HQ Monaro when he saw a speed camera, due to HQ brakes being basically ineffective he kicked it down and floored it passed the camera at somewhere around 230 (+/- 15km/h), due to never having got a letter in the mail he assumes he was never caught but took the situation as a one off chance and hasn't tried it since. I wouldn't blame him i don't think it would be easy to explain your way out of doing 130+ over the limit.
I'm pretty sure you'll find that the cops have detectors for these devices, so an alarm will sound if the radar is caught by one of these 'cloaking' devices. But to be sure, ask in the 'Ask a copper" thread.
