It's been asked before, but I'll repeat it:
If a burgalar breaks into your home while you are on holiday, and carries out your TV, then goes back for the video, HiFi, DVD and Computer, making 5-6 trips to his van, does he get done for breaking and entering and entering and entering and entering or is it just treated as one offence? :roll:

If somebody speeds past more than one camera, AND IS NOT STOPPED from committing that offence, then it should be ONE offence.
And if they kill somebody after they pass by a talivan, then the negligence of the operators in not STOPPING a known dangerous offence, should lead to them being accessories after the fact, dereliction of duty or corporate manslaughter - allowing a dangerous act to continue and not taking measures to prevent an accident/fatality.
Their propaganda SAYS they know it is dangerous, so they have little defence - less in fact than a road gang who leave a hole in the ground unfenced at the end of the day, and somebody falls in and injures themselves! A health and safety offence!

If i were to misread a speed sign (say I did 40 in a 30 zone) and get caught by the 2 or three cameras on the same half mile of road, am i liable for all three fines and the full 9 points? Surely I have commited only one offence so would only be liable for one fine and 3 points?

Wouldn't getting flashed by the first camera alert you to your misreading though?


Not if it was a truvelo, talivan or SPECS, and no doubt some people will come up with more.


And I assume even a gatso if it's during the day as you may not see the light, especialy as your under the impression your under the limit and therefor concentrating on the road and whats infront of you (heaven forbid) and not the camera you might not notice it flash beind you.

Though i've never been flashed by one so not to sure.

Truvello - you'd know - the flash is visible.

Only if the filter's been pinched? or can you still see some flash anyway?

A Truvelo camera uses a white flash. In front-facing mode this is fitted with a magenta filter. It's visible.

Laser devices are usually connected to a video camera so no flash. SPECS uses infra-red illuminators. All others that I can think of have a visible flash. Although how visible this is during the day if it's from behind I don't know.
