Speed Trap System - live in August 2012!

[Game-R]

500m is not enough.. at 200kph, we need 1km to slow down to legal speed limit without jamming the brakes.. :42:

At 200km/h, you have less than 9 seconds to react and half your speed within less than 500m before its Candid Camera time.

 

[dzuljazz2001]

I have no objections on fixed cameras,but they should clearly notify theres a speed camera at least 500m before and make the cameras obviously visible (with fluorescents stripes) like in the UK.this will educate instead 'trapping' drivers.

... :4: .... now thats a food for thought for the authorities :top: ...

I read some where the a modern speed trap camera can take photo 1km away.. :13:

The papan tanda should be placed before the speed trap zone instead measuring to the camera location. Otherwise, might as well put a sign there: "Say CHEESE!"

Got before! Anyone remember the huge "SENYUM!" billboards warning of the speed cameras along the old 2 lane Gentings highway before they made it 4 lanes? Those speed cameras looking like weather stations you can spot far away.

Not that hard to imagine. If you can buy a pair of binocularas that can see over 5km away, why not speed cameras with the same zoom lens and more powerful laser equipment?

:listen: unless one knows how these gadgets works, one can only imagine what it does. Focus on the nearer object or the furthest. With over 200 cameras, not easy to manage the zooming thingy .... auto zoom, laser detect on the fast object and wht not? Its anybody's guess :4: ....

To be safe, just drive within the speed limits and if have the dough to spare :4: .... speed all you want, but speed within you and your car's limits :4:

Agreed with AB,papan tanda shd be before the camera and not within the measuring zone. Thats what i saw with the fluorescent striped camera which shoot ur car's behind instead from the front.

just loosen a single digit alphabet or number and you can smile all the way pass the camera ...

HAHAAHAHHHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAA!!! Good one

Alamak. No super protector in our plate size. :motz:

We make our plate numbers according to the ones that are sold.

I was in UK driving for quite some time within the fixed camera zone. Well what I can say that this is actually good news. No more hiding police in the bush.

With the fixed camera, people can start mapping the locations of it and update in in GPS devices. Those cameras stay there so its a definite location.

When all these are in place, whenever you go driving, turn on your GPS although you already know where you are going just to get the camera warnings.

I had these in the UK, and the GPS warns me about 2 miles before the camera location so I haven't had any summons in my final years in the UK.

Found eight summonses listed in PDRM/MYEG, all in the last 12months.

These two in Subang Jaya, I believe along Elite HW. Note the height of the camera, likely to be those mounted on the flyover.

I think the German fixed system uses strips embedded in on the road to measure speed. We need Knight Rider boost technology to jump over it

The mobile system will still be using lasers but the detector only helps you if the sniper is shooting other cars while you are within the detection range. If they point straight at you, sudah kena already.

The stripes on the road are not sensors, they are used as a measuring device and an evidence of the speed you are doing in conjunction with the speed camera. In the UK (not sure if its any different that the one in Germany) the fixed camera took two photos at 0.5 seconds interval. First photo will show you at one stripe, and the second photo will show your car passing on another stripe down the road. So the evidence of the speed can be calculated from the two photos without relying on what the speed sensor tells you. Distance/time = speed.

But still, I am hoping the the government will not employ the AVERAGE SPEED CAMERA which are latest system in the UK. These are the worst!

Basically they a photo of you passing through a location, and take another one 20-30 miles down the road. Then they compare the time you get there and get the AVERAGE SPEED. How'd you get away from that? Of course you can speed like hell and stop at a location and sleep but what's the point in that?

I ply that route regularly before but due to so many summons cannot tahan and shifted my route to LDP.

Anyways, this is most likely just before the USJ exit which the cops will be either; 1. in the median, 2. at the side or 3. at the overhead building above. For position 3 the give away is when one of the windows in the flyover is open.

 

[Game-R]

... so I haven't had any summons in my final years in the UK.

So how many summons we're you getting in the early years in the UK?

Note the height of the camera, likely to be those mounted on the flyover.

Not likely. The two overhead bridges that the Elite passes under in Subang Jaya are covered by huge advertisement billboards. There is no space for the camera to fit in there. I think it's more likely that the camera is hidden behind those overhead direction signboards. There are so many of these and they are always without anything covering the rear gantry. Perfect location to put more than one camera.

this is easily implemented on our closed highways.. your entry & exit times will tell how long you were on the highway, hence your average speed.

 

[haywire]

I think total about 4. The first two was within one weekend in the first year since I didn't even know about the speed cameras.

Headache is as a foreign national I cannot just pay the summon, had to attend court. Luckily found excuses not to attend any of them.

Got banned from driving for 28 days in one occasion though, I was chasing an 850i (in a Rover!) and didn't realise there was a camera I was passing through. In the UK if you go 25mph over the speed limit and get caught its an automatic ban.

.... yes they can do the average that way and this was once brought up by the authorities for implementation.

However the court threw that out as evidence required for prosecution states that the speeding offence should be recorded at which KM and at what time the offence took place.

we were spared by a mere judicial technicality then :biggrin:

... :4: ... at times we do get lucky bro ... :top:

...hence my belief that the authorities are not doing enough to create such awareness. They are more into "trapping" the public than "educating" them.
The Safety of every road user is the responsiblity of ALL and we do our part by driving "dgn berhemah (though fast at times but always in control) :4:" .... and they in turn should do their part in creating such awareness, and not "set a trap and penalised" the public caught in the trap :frown:.
