Does anyone know when the speed cameras actually measure your speed? Is it the exact same time they take the picture (I assume not). I wasn't paying attention at 5:30 this morning and jammed on my brakes right underneath the bridge they are located. Hopefully the radar is after the bridge.
I was day dreaming about winning the lottery.....

I'm afraid you'll get the ticket...
that's the downside of owning every electronic device known to man. It's hard to keep your eyes on the road.Quote:

Correct, the limit there is 60 and they give you 10 so as long as you weren't doing over 70, you'll be fine.Quote:

I was going about 75. I normally slow down about a 1/4 mile before the signs but I was day dreaming.
I think I may be ok since I put the brakes on right underneath the sign. I guess we'll know in a few days.
