Whatever it is, I know that photo well. It used to be on the office wall of the guy who set up the traffic camera system in Vic - he was a client of mine way back in '96.

thats a GE sigma
the very first model

and the red one at the top locking the brakes up is the next model GH

oops it is to... they do how ever have a fairly similar body shape

Hi

So what would happen if you were on multi lane road and you sped through a speed camera and a truck was next to you, between you and the camera? I guess that they couldn't identify you, so no fine.

I hate it when i'm in that situation Steve
a car overtakes You in the next lane....

and I'm driving along very slowly....

so far nothing has happened...

One day a motor cycle overtook Me on a country highway
just as a highway patrol car with radar came around the corner...

As I was speeding at the time...
the Bike saved Me...
He was probably doing 120 when He overtook Me....

it was bad luck for Him.....

I saw on pay TV yesterday

a fellow with a hot car added a clear perspex type
rear number plate cover...
the number plate is clearly visible from the rear
up to a certain degree...
then its not clear, so a camera cannot take the number
and He said it cost $35US....

good idea...

Lee

haha I love the couple bike ones.

They tested a whole bunch of those on Myth Busters a few weeks ago. None of them really worked.

Hi Lee

I'm pretty sure that the camera software can detect which lane was speeding, so a slow moving truck would be still showing a slow speed. It get its data from a sensor in the road. I would be willing to test my theory, I just need someone to donate points to me.

I've given up on myth busters, they got a bit stupid and I didn't like the method of testing that they did sometimes. The huge speaker in an old Merc comes to mind.

The number plate cover sounds promising, I've heard hairspray makes a plate eligible.
