I think they either want to scare people or it is for later use when they stick a 2nd camera in.

He said he was merely calibrating the device.Long topic this going to be.

If someone got flashed and their vision was impaired slightly and they had an accident, I wonder where they'd stand Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36520-speed-cameras/page/2/#findComment-553382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You run the traffic lights and get done by the speed camera as a result. Even drivers who turn onto President Ave, and dont realise ist schol zone times get pinged, cuz you can 40 pretty quick.Its just all about road safety :bsflag: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36520-speed-cameras/page/2/#findComment-553596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our government isn't interested in anything else but road safety, that's why our roads are covered with pot holes so we would slow down . Plus people die every day from driving 10 km/h over the limit :bsflag: .

Posted 10/07/07 11:05 AM Share Posted 10/07/07 11:05 AM Theres 1 on avoca st in randwick for a school zone at randwick girls high school. that's facing you when you go south bound. Just 1 thing, when there is a speed camera in a school zone, does it work any other time outside school zone times? People say yes but I just dont know... steven Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/36520-speed-cameras/page/2/#findComment-553757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the school zone 40Kph limit is over doesnt mean it will no longer ping you for other higher speeds.Some of us on here have the luxury of setting them off all the time and nothing can be done about it.

I guess you don't want to elaborate on that last sentence. Or maybe I'm wrong...????
