How to Determine If You're Speeding?
1 Answers
Methods to determine whether speeding has been captured: 1. Speeding cameras typically capture frontal shots to clearly identify the driver's face and license plate, often using flash for better lighting. When a vehicle enters the camera's range, the flash usually goes off several times. 2. With radar speed detection systems, if the camera flash goes off 2-3 times, it generally indicates speeding. This is because multiple consecutive photos are required as evidence for speeding penalties, causing the flash to fire rapidly. 3. For surveillance cameras installed on roads, if the flash goes off once when a vehicle passes, it's usually recording vehicle information as checkpoint data for monitoring illegal vehicles. If speeding is detected at a speed checkpoint, multiple consecutive photos will be taken as evidence for penalties. Additional details: 1. Even if you pass a speed monitoring point during the day while speeding, the flash may not activate because daylight provides sufficient lighting for clear vehicle photos. Therefore, relying solely on flash activity isn't always accurate. 2. Example of a speeding vehicle capture. Additionally, speed detection equipment at some checkpoints may be poorly maintained and not operational. In summary, the most reliable way to confirm whether you've been caught speeding is to wait for an official notice. If no penalty notice arrives after several weeks, it means you either weren't captured or the photos weren't clear enough to serve as evidence.
