The most annoying part is that I was looking at the camera, then looked at the speedo, yep no problems.....Then flash! I looked around thinking it couldnt be me then saw the 100kph zone.....ahhh crap!

Waitaminute, which road are we talking about? You do know that there is a 20 km/h buffer above posted speed limits right?

Oh, that sucks.

I had a similar experience a month ago in Marina, when I thought I was above the speed limit and a fugly Lambo to my right accelerated and got flashed by the new tower shaped cameras.

yeah free to watch.

Was good to head out and chat with like minded people. As far as the action goes....It was the first day they have held, so still testing the waters and I have just come from japan so hard to live up to that
