Will I be caught by speed cameras if the navigation doesn't alert me?

It is possible to be caught. Here are the details: 1. Speed cameras: There are surveillance cameras on the road that can capture speeding images. However, speeding images are usually captured by dedicated speed cameras, and there are usually speed limit warning signs ahead on the road. If you don't see any warning signs, generally you won't be captured. 2. Navigation speed detection function: The speed detection function of navigation is based on a large amount of accumulated data. That being said, you should not completely rely on the information provided by the navigation. You should still pay attention to the traffic signs nearby while driving.

Last week, I learned this lesson the hard way on the national highway! The navigation was as silent as a chicken, and a few days later, I received a speeding ticket. Later, I asked my friends and found out that there are now many mobile speed traps, some of which are temporarily installed equipment that the navigation system simply can't update in time. Especially in urban-rural fringe areas, traffic police often change their hiding spots. Another pitfall is the endpoint camera of an average speed check zone—navigation usually only alerts you to the starting point. Nowadays, office workers like us would rather use additional navigation warning apps and keep an eye out for reflective signs on unfamiliar roads, because we simply can't afford to lose any points.

Last time on a long-distance trip, I met an experienced coach driver who said that just because the navigation didn't alert doesn't mean it's safe. Many newly built road sections have speed cameras that have just been activated, and map updates take months. He taught me a few practical tips: always slow down when passing bridges and tunnels, as these are high-probability spots for hidden cameras; follow local license plates, as they know the road and will suddenly reduce speed; watch for oncoming vehicles flashing their headlights as a warning, a signal veteran drivers understand. He boasted twenty years without a single ticket, all thanks to these tricks of the trade.

You don't realize how unreliable navigation is until you test it. Our car club specifically tested a mainstream navigation app - it missed three out of five speed traps on provincial highways! Temporary mobile speed cameras were completely undetected, only fixed points were announced. The traffic management app shows 37 new mobile speed traps were added last month, but navigation providers simply can't access real-time data. Now when driving on mountain roads, I've developed a habit of strictly adhering to speed limits - never exceeding 60km/h on provincial highways. Whenever I see a suspicious minivan, I immediately slow down - who knows if it's a police speed detection vehicle.
