if so how does it track you if you change lanes etc?

I'm not 100% certain about the changing lanes thing, but suspect it would be susceptible to cosine error like all "slant cameras"

Poliscan was on a major arterial road SoR (street name withheld). Camera was set up forward facing three lanes in the centre island visually hidden behind a dense cover of bushes until I was practically on top of the camera. Only a forward facing camera was set up (no rear camera for motorbikes?).

Could only do distance calculations based off the GPS vehicle speed and time from warning to level with camera. Low position seemed the best with approx 6.5 seconds (approx 115m meters) warning even though on the pass I was in the lane adjacent to the camera.

Next run with V1 in high position led to a 5 second (approx 90 meters) warning even though I was in the lane furthest from the camera. V1 warning was approximately the same as visual sighting distance.

No warning travelling in the opposite direction at all, however, the camera was facing away from opposite lanes and hidden by bushes.

Finally, there was no buildings or vehicles (in general) for laser scatter to occur. I did see one vehicle flashed during the various passes - not me as I was 5 Km below the limit for all passes.

The use of the Multinova 6F is still occurring as I passed two units on separate days in the Western Suburbs. As such, the use of radar detectors is still useful in finding the Multinovas that are still being used. Also, the fixed speed/red light cameras are active as I have seen one flash another driver and had an associate booked by one with the ticket in the mail.
