i got red ps last week and have a qu about school zones

do speed cameras in nsw have a 10 per cent leeway coz i was going about 42km/h through a school zone the other day which had a speed camera (40km/h limit) but didnt see a flash go off? wallah i was going speed limit the whole time only lost concentration 4 a couple of seconds. does anyone know about speed cameras coz everyone ive asked said theres leeway coz of speedo calibration errors so a couple of kms here and there doesnt matter

LOLLL
You write the way you talk.


On topic, dont worry. Im sure you got away with it. You'll just have to wait and see. If you do get charged, appeal.

as far as i know if its a modern speed camera they dont flash and if you are over the speed limit it will take your photo

and seeing as its a school zone they are VERY strict inside them.... but wait and see is all you can do...

nah. more likely that they'll upgrade the offense and give him 55 years.

on a serious note, i dont think there is a leeway. i got done for doing a tiny bit over the limit once. but many other times ive gone 5-10ks over the limit and haven't been caught. i think they only work a small portion of the time. ive also heard this from other people.
correct me if im wrong.

i heard from a coppa that you usually get about a 3km/h leeway, but keep in mind most cars speedo's are out by a few kms anyway.

YOU'RE DOOMED! GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY WHILE YOU STILL CAN
