I always assumed that they use both the images it takes and with those the camera can automatically calculate which one was speeding by judging the distances traveled between the two images since they already know that they are taken a fraction of a second apart, i imagined a totally automatic system… I’m pretty sure they can calculate and keep up with speeds of at least two or three cars simultaneously.

I paid fines from 2005 last month when I renewed a car registration! 2005!

There was nothing to pay when I checked in October.

see that 3 months period they mention in the ticketing system? If you manage to get your license back when they take it driving the M6 then you won’t have any problems with this one, I got mine already.

As far as I’ve heard, if there are two or more vehicles next to each other in a speed camera picture, that picture gets automatically disqualified because the camera can’t distinguish which is the speeding vehicle. Its a sort of loop hole in the system but a fair one since I believe they don’t want to wrongfully accuse someone of speeding when they might not have.

So don’t worry, there’s a big chance you might not get a ticket.

I don’t know how speed camera exactly works but It happened to me several times long time ago and thank god, I haven’t received any ticket.

Just thinking if the camera use laser beams to detect speed, then it should distinguish the driving lanes thus giving the one who looks at the photo an idea about which car is speeding. If it uses radar (EM waves) then I can’t be sure if it can direct multiple radar propagations and distinguish the lanes.

I’ve been wondering the same thing for a while now. The situation does happen to many people. Hopefully we could get an answer to this soon.
(4 to 6 months would be too long to realize though)
