timmmay: Just because the time was wrong that doesn't mean people weren't speeding. I don't think they should've cancelled the tickets, though there probably would've been legal challenges which made it necessary. People should take responsibility for their decisions.

keewee01: I love the line He called the error a "temporary technical glitch", and said road users could be reassured that all police speed detection equipment, including cameras, radars and lasers, was tested and calibrated to the highest international standards.

Highest international standards... yet there is a temporary technical glitch

Lucky our desktops, laptops and phones are built to higher international standards than these camera! XD

Yeah, but not that frequently on average, and they are consumer devices so some occasional issues to be expected, if not rebooted for long periods (not that we know if regular reboots of the speed camera happens or not).

Speed camera is a commercial device and the expectation is that it is built to a much higher standard.

Maybe someone in Newlands has wifi access to the camera...

Brunzy: Hard to believe with that camera in such an open position that it catches so many people.

AFAIK it can be made to follow the variable speed signs so if you pass it at your usual 80 but should be doing 60 it will still get you. I don't know if this is automated.
