Hello over there... I´m a newbee, but was to lacy to read all the faq`s, so i just go ahead telling you my story, about speed cameras and how you can avoid to get a ticket (at least in Austria). The mythbusters testet the speed camera myths in Myth Evolution Season 5 Episode 18. Several fans said, you can beat the camera with speed alone. That actually happend in Austria. But the guy/ car itself wasen´t going too fast for the camera. According to the myth, as it was told to me, he somehow put metal balls (sorry, no idea wich material exactly) into the wheels, as they are a part from the area, where the speed gets mesured. The balls inside the wheels where spinning too fast for the device to catch the actual speed. Still the camera would be triggerd, but without the concret speed mesured you can´t get a ticket. In Austria the law says, the more you go ofer the speed limit, the more you have to pay... so no speed, no ticket! Maybe you could someday come back to that one day. Unfortunatly our "local Mythbusters" are really lame and won`t test the myth, allthough it was even in the newspapers. In the end the guy got caught, as the camera apperantly only was not working well when he passed it, bad thing, it was just his car, where the police allways could get a picture but never the speed. (sorry for the bad english...) o yeah, almost forgot.. I am a big Fan!!!
