Car Mounted Speed Camera's

[Grimesy]

Good news and bad news for me today. Its been 2-3 weeks and i didn't get a fine while in the work van, bad news i think i might have got one leaving Tyre-power today trying to merge into peak hour traffic, 55 to 57 in a 50 zone.

hey all. just wanted to pick peoples brains. I'm just trying to figure out if the car mounted speed 'safety' cameras that hide in the trees and other area's you cant see them have the same flash set up that fixed camera's have?

Ive just never seen any operate late and night and was curious.

I think i got done near the ingle farm shops on Montague road at 1am this morning. Car was hiding in the trees, the flashes were about 3 seconds apart which i think was too long (compared to the fixed ones)

im sure i was really endangering life doing 67 in a 60 zone at 1am on a cold drizzly night. maybe the rain will give a false reading:)

im guessing i def have been done but never noticed the car ones operating late at night (i bet the driver wasnt even in the car, it was probably parked out the front of his house and he wasn't in the car)

One time bedding in brakes down the lonsdale highway I went from 100 to 40 pretty hard, looked up and there was a cop car in the bushes dead ahead of me, went past and got a couple of flashes a few seconds apart and absolutely shat myself, to this day no fine (about a year) so probably was just a cop giving you a warning.

Yep, they defs flash at night but not during the day, not sure how far apart the flashes are but it sounds about right

The newer ones that you see on the camrys with the long black bar take an IR photo and do not flash.

Sorry for the (slight) necro but thought it important to clear up that they can now take flashless photos.

And here's a scary one that exists but luckily not in Australia yet!
