The Flame Pit / Re: Have I been caught?
« on: June 04, 2024, 06:16:07 pm »
Hello all.
First of all, I realise that 'wait two weeks' is all I can really do (car is owned outright and correctly registered to current address) but just wanted to ask for a bit of opinion on the likelihood that anything is turning up. I've done a bit of digging online but haven't found anything definitive.
I was driving towards the GSV camera view here, on the right of picture where the three cars are in the distance and pretty sure I was doing a bit over the 34mph threshold for getting away with it (I am accounting for overread). No excuses, just lapse of concentration. I dropped back to 30 by the time I went through the lights, where the car just before the yellow box is.

The camera in picture has been replaced since Google last came past and I believe is a Vector type which I understand can enforce speeding in both directions. It still appears to be pointing at the traffic lights (I know it can enforce that too) so my hope is that because the lane where I was is not parallel, it may not actually work in the other direction in this case either due to the angle or field of 'vision'.
Local plod (Devon & Cornwall) has a few of these cameras about now but they are all on roads with two parallel lanes, one in each direction, so I can see how that would definitely work both ways.
It's not the end of the world, I'll be eligible for a course if caught but any help is appreciated.
