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.

scary, fingers crossed.

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

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
