So Last Night

[Tap]

Hey Guys,

I'm kinda new to riding, well I have been riding for almost a year now but only recently have I been on my bike almost every day.

Last night I was riding down Alexander Drive, and I know there is a speed Camera coming up near the Dianella shops. Made sure I was doing less than 60.. and then flash! at 55...

There was another bloke next to me in a white ute, he too was doing the same speed as me. I thought about it last night, the distance between the front wheel and rear on the bike is alot less than the car, I'm pretty sure that speed camera uses the ground sensors to calculate the speed as there are two sensors perfectly spaced just after the white line.

I also remember back in May when I got flashed by one of the same types of fixed cameras, I still haven't got any notifications and I definitely wasn't speeding on that occasion too.

Does anyone else think this or could give some info?

I've been told the current cameras can catch people on the other side of the road too, for instance if it is front facing for you, it is rear for traffic in the opposite direction, perhaps it was pinging someone else?

if you genuinely werent speeding mate I wouldn't lose sleep over it. if it ever comes contest it.

I got flashed the other day doing 58kmph (as indicated on the needle) in the car in a 60 zone. Could have been the other side of the road as mentioned above as all the vehicles around me were doing the same speed as I

I set the red light cameras on Reid Hwy and Joondalup Dve off every day doing the limit or just under, never received a ticket.

[Tap]

Yeah, there was only me and the other car and I'm 100% sure either of us weren't speeding. I haven't lost any demerits since 2007 so it wouldn't be a big deal but man its annoying.

[Virt]

If its a traffic light camera appararently they have a habit of being trigger happy, noone seems to get the fines from the wrong flashes though.

[Barfridge]

^ What Virt said. It's a common complaint, yet I haven't heard of anyone actually getting a ticket.

[filbert]

they're targeting bikes looking for fender eliminators and illegal exhaust systems, taking your photo through the lights saves having an extra 3 police cars out patrolling

[Virt]

I doubt that.

[Darkrhyno]

Short wheel base sets off the sensors which are under the floor. Don't worry about it

[Commander Keen]

Do a wheelie through the intersection then they won't be able to see your plate.

[Falcore]

I doubt that.

Sarcasm lost on you eh?

[Goofy]

Meanwhile WAPOL are collating photographs of motorcycles and which intersections they ride through. If you go that way often, expect a yellow sticker, your bike confiscated or a severe beating.

pretty much

[haelsk]

A fixed camera in Cottesloe flashes almost every time i ride over it, never received a ticket.

[tim the pool man]

I've been told they randomly set cameras to flash every vehicle to catch people on mobile phones.

[Tap]

haha that's reassuring. Getting sneakier by the minute!

That's why I take side streets and avoid them as much as possible

Fuck! Better stop using my mobile phone while riding my bike through there It's a bitch to hear through the helmet anyway

The same thing happened to me at wanneroo rd/hodges dr. I made sure I was doing around 55kmh. It seems to be a common occurrence
