If you have been snapped by a speed camera or mobile radar operator recently chances are you have been ripped off. The governments 3km/hr tolerence is nowhere near enough to compensate for inaccuracies in the equipment used to book you. If you want to learn more about how you are being unfairly dealt with visit the Radar Rip Off website.

There is a multitude of things that can increase the speed reading so if you think the speed recorded is too high you are probably right. Angle of the speed sensing device to the road, width of the road, objects in the background and calibration of the radar unit all affect the accuracy. The government is making a lot of money from drivers many of who are innocent and it is just not right.

Before we can do very much about the problem people need to arm themselves with enough knowledge to know when they have been ripped off. At the Radar Rip Off website you will learn the facts about speed cameras and radar. The site includes information provided by government agencies as well as links to other authoritive websites.
