Damn Speed Camera

I'm not sure about the laws were you live, but in my state in order to get convicted by a speed camera the police need 2 things:

1. A photograph of your license plate
2. A photograph of the driver

Now if you see a camera in advance and there is absolutely nothing you can do. (for example not enough time to slow down, or in an intersection with the red light cameras)

Then..

Pull your sun visor down and move your face closer to it. The camera will not get a clear picture of your face. When you receive your ticket in the mail, you have the option of declaring that you are not the driver and you do not know who is, thus no fine.


Warning very important!

Make absolutely sure before you do this that there are no cars or people nearby that you could potentially hit! Nobody likes getting fines but the safety of others is far more important!!

Other methods

-Spray can reflectors have been tested and do not work.

-Radar detectors do work, however they may not give you ample time to slow down. They are legal in most states.

-Radar jammers do work, but are illegal in almost all places and therefore must be hidden and have a nearby on/off.

-Camera detectors, I personally do not know anything about , but were mentioned a few posts above.


I admit that I may not always go the speed limit, but I have never been in an accident. I always stay very aware of my surroundings and make sure I know my vehicle like the back of my hand.

I am a firm believer that speeding is not the leading cause of accidents. Distracted driving and lack of experience are.
I would much rather be on a road with a people speeding who are aware and know how to drive than on a road with teenagers on their cell phones and elderly people falling alseep while going the limit.

Also the method above is purely for informational purposes only. Practicing this method could be potentially dangerous and unethical.

Camera warning systems are fully legal to use. It's the speed gun detectors that are somewhat illegal to use, not sure of the exact laws. Road Angel is a well known 100% legal to use system.

If i remember correctly the original Road Angel system is illegal to use now, i had one and it used to go off if you pointed lasers/garage door openers at it.... It is completely legal to use warning systems, theyre often build into sat navs.

Also, i am a firefighter, i have been driving from a young age, on and off track, i have been taught to drive fast and then againat the age of 21 to drive a 20tonne engine fast- but safely. SPEED DOESN'T CAUSE ACCIDENTS. Human error causes it, end of.... speed just makes it more likely to be fatal by the time i rock up and end up having to scrape brains into a bag.... yep done that a few times.

A few people said it, don't speed and you won't get a ticket.

I and those with any real driving history and/or ability will know its not always that easy and the idiot who likened speeding to putting a loaded gun to your head .... fucking idiot, seriously nothing like it.

Speeding is a risk, i very rarely do the speed limit or below, those rare times that i do i am usually in heavy traffic - it is a risk i take but i am confident in my ability and in the risks i take, touch wood* i've never had an accident - just be careful.

Also read somewhere earlier that the "Brake" associate which highlights dangers on roads and would have all cars bannedin the whole world because they are so dangerous (thats a lie but they are a bunch of tools) they think that over taking is the most dangerous manouvre a driver can perform in a car .... Bullshit.

I just read this the other day http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...754b24-1c86-11e2-ba31-3083ca97c314_story.html

You've got it the wrong way. Speed cameras are not security measures to help you stay away from accidents, they're there to catch you so you get a speeding ticket later by mail and you learn your lesson as it ain't a buck it costs, it's many of your hard earned money.

All I know is that traffic accidents go up around speed camera because people slam on there breaks to avoid a accident.
