Default Damn speed cameras!!

so....i got home last night from work,poured myself a glass of wine and went through my mail.......a speeding fine for $700!! wtf??? not only is the speeding fine wrong due to the context it stated but anyway that's another story..

so...after skulling the bottle i thought there has to be some kind of radar detector/shield that can stop all of us heavy footed breeds from obtaining these kind of fines....i did some research today and there is some kind of laser radar you can get installed in your car where it makes your license plate "blank" when they point at it... to good to be true..??? I have a radar detector but it doesn't pick up all these new cameras that are installed at the sets of traffic lights etc...what do you guys think or recommend?

A few of us did a group buy on the Valentine 1 Radar Detector. Seems to be the best to pick up the new ones.

You must have been going at least 30 over to get $700 dollar fine. Where was it?

Stick to the speed limit

If you have a device that can block or jam any speed measuring device and a police officer noticed that he couldn't get a lock on your vehicle, he may chase or flag you down and investigate.

I'm not sure if they are able to investigate, find the source of interference and give you an infringement for circumventing their speed measuring devices.

Get a GPS, use it for the speed limits, get used to the speed limits in the areas that you frequent and learn to use the cruise control.

Has kept me out of a fine in nearly 8 years now!

Driven through that intersection many times at the posted speed limit (80m/h) and never seen a flash or had an infringement issued.

Did you get flashed for doing 70km/h through a red light?

I drive through that intersection everyday and its definitely 80. In saying that though, are these mounted speed cameras able to tell which car is speeding?? Seen so many tools speed through that intersection while im going through it and worried that a fine may come through for me instead..

I see too many "!!!" and "???" being used.

Cruise control is my best friend. Touch wood I haven't been pulled over or flashed in my wrx

gps...hahahaha got one of them too...i meant the radar detector!!

and 70kms going through a red light....hmmmm no!!

i believe these are the mounted speed cameras the piggies are putting up around Perth at intersections.....this is the second one iv been done for in a year so they are becoming more and more common....

More than 29 km/h but not more than 40 km/h $700 Which means you were doing at least 109 through the intersection.

Google Blinder laser jammer. Get Alberts to install it. Thank me later.

You should probably not speed through intersections either. The fixed cameras are easy to spot, and there is usually a friggin sign there before the intersection. Jammers won't work for those ones though as they use some sensor shit in the ground to determine your speed. It will block vitronic cameras though.
