What does mobile speed measurement mean?
2 Answers
Mobile speed measurement is a method of speed detection. The speed measurement vehicles parked on the roadside use movable speed detectors that can be freely adjusted in direction. They can photograph speeding vehicles from different angles, capturing either the front or rear license plates. The main difference lies in the parking position of the speed measurement vehicle and the orientation of the speed detector. In practice, most operations adopt the method of photographing rear license plates. If the front license plate method is used, when there are many vehicles, it may be difficult to capture the actual speeding vehicle because normally oncoming vehicles can easily block the license plate of the speeding vehicle.
Mobile speed detection means that police officers measure vehicle speeds while moving on the road, unlike fixed cameras that stay in one place. They use handheld radar guns or vehicle-mounted speed detectors, standing by the roadside or patrolling in police cars, ready to target moving vehicles to measure their speed at any time. If you're speeding, they can immediately pull you over to issue a ticket or send a fine later. This method is quite random, as you never know when they might appear, so drivers are less likely to speed. I think this is beneficial for traffic safety as it helps reduce accidents. I remember a friend who was caught speeding on the highway last time, fined several hundred dollars and had points deducted, which really ruined his mood. I suggest everyone drive slower, especially on unfamiliar roads, and pay more attention to speed limit signs.
